Our red wigglers are home grown in bins and compost heaps on our property in PA and near Seattle. We ship worms averaging 90+ days old. They winter well and reproduce rapidly. Your worm population should double every 90-days or so, given enough food and moisture.

My wife and I USED to be very organic... we ground our own flour and made our own whole grain bread. We made yogurt, sourdough culture, dried our own fruit, used honey in excessive quantities. But as we grew older, we got less and less organic and more convenience-oriented. We're not eating white bread and cheetos, but we haven't ground flour in a few years. This past summer, we wanted to grow some vegetables in our raised vegetable beds on our back property. The soil was pretty compacted - lots of clay here in northern California... so we looked into composting.
We ran across the Live Earthworms at Amazon and thought - why not? Let's try this. We ordered a bunch of Red Wrigglers from these folks and got them in a few short days. They were mailed in newspaper and, while I didn't count them, they all looked none-the-worse from their trip across the country from Pennsylvania. We followed the package instructions and put them in our raised beds and now - many months later - they're doing great. We feed them about every week with cutup vegetable trimmings, coffee grounds, eggshells, some wet newspaper and these guys are living large. But even better is what they're doing to our raised beds.... the soil they've lived in is soft, loamy, nicely textured, and looks and feels about ten times better than before these guys called it home. I'm actually surprised that they are still thriving - it rarely freezes here, but I thought they might dig down deep in the winter and never return... I suspect they like the diet we are giving them.
The other fun thing is that this vendor provides some great - and fun-to-read information about "vermiposting" and gardening. It almost feels like he is giving up his children for adoption and wants to make sure that they thrive in their new environment! |
Great quality and speed!

| This seller is amazing. I ordered the worms and they came pretty much instantly. The seller warned of them possibly being stressed or dehydrated upon arrival but the worms were happy and healthy and numerous in quantity. I am so happy and was not expecting such a great find on Amazon. The shipping is SO cheap, it blows my mind. |
Good worms

| I ordered my worms smack in the dead of winter. I was concerned that they will arrive frozen dead. The company gave me enough notice via e-mail when they were sent out and when approximately to expect them in the mail. They came in the mail when I was luckily scheduled to be off work that day. I wondered what would have happened to them if I came home late at night. The worms were all balled up together packed with dry sawdust in a cloth pouch. One or two were slightly moving. Some were literally dried up like brown twigs. I spritz some room temperature water on them, and as instructed, left them on my composter with the lid open exposed to the room light. After awhile most of them were slowly moving and digging themselves into the compost. Supposedly they do not like light. So I left them there and after about 3-4 hours I came back down the basement to check up on them, none of them were on the surface. I looked into the pile of food scraps underneath and there they were, already taking home.It's been almost 2 months and they are looking good! |
Wonderful worms!!!

I ordered these earthworms a week ago, not knowing what to expect since I had never before ordered live worms, or live anything. Anyhow, the worms arrived at the postoffice this morning and they called me to come pick them up. I already had two composting bins at home prepared with a layer of sod and some ejected vegetable/fruit pulp from my juicer. So after bringing home the package of earthworms, I gingerly opened it. They were packed with great care. I split the contents into each of the compost bins. There were a lot of healthy looking red worms. They slid into the sod right away. I hope to have some good, healthy, nutritious and rich compost in a few weeks in which to grow my wheatgrass!
The worms looked very healthy and were very well packed in a bag along with soil. The bag was then placed in a box surrounded with shredded paper. The earthworms were of all different sizes.
This is an excellent outfit to purchase the earthworms from. Its definitely worth the cost. It took a week to receive the worms after placing the order.
