    Description

    1 lb (~1000) Red Wiggler Composting Worms
    There's a reason red wigglers are the most commonly used composting worms:
    they eat almost half their weight each day!
    they are prolific breeders; a colony can double in size in just 3 months!
    they love living in dense communities, enabling a large number to live in a small bin
    they thrive in temperatures of 65F-80F but can withstand temperatures as low as 45F and as high as 90F
    Vermicompost (compost produced by worms) offers far higher plant nutrition than traditional compost.  Add your homemade vermicompost to your garden and watch your plants thrive.  Vermicompost can even minimize plant disease by adding a healthy microbial community to your soil and plant roots.
    How many worms do you need?  The general rule is to add 1 lb for every 1 square foot of surface area in your bin.  You can start with more if you want your bin to get going faster; start with less if you'd rather take it slow.
    Shipping is included in the purchase price.  Worms are shipped priority mail on Monday or Tuesday of each week.  This minimizes the chance of them sitting in a shipping depot over a weekend.  Please ensure they are delivered to a location without extreme temperatures; worms should not be placed in mailboxes or left in the direct sun. The worms should be moved to their home the same day they arrive.
    Please note: worms can only be shipped within the continental United States.
