About the Worms

Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida), also known under various common names including: redworm, tiger worm, manure worm, panfish worm and brandling worm are highly efficient composters of organic material - and arguably the most versatile of the composting species, transforming waste into a highly beneficial soil amendment. For this reason, they are often referred to as "the king of composting worms"!

Consider adding 1/4-2 pounds of worms to start, depending on the size of your system. If you are unsure please ask us!

Worms will live up to 3-5 years under optimal conditions, and they can increase greatly in number in 2-3 months, if properly cared for. 

These live composting worms are shipped along with 4L inoculated habitat. You will also receive the printed guide: Caring for your Red Wigglers - A Beginner’s Guide for Successful Vermicomposting.

Your worms are guaranteed to arrive alive, some conditions may apply

If you are new to composting, get ready to be inspired as you witness the transformation of what would otherwise be considered waste into a highly valuable resource!
