One Pound Red Wiggler Composting Worms

Description

Red Wiggler Composting Worms - The little worm with the big appetite!
Create your own organic plant food while deferring waste food scraps from the landfill. Red wigglers thrive on our waste, eating up to half of their weight per day under proper conditions. This means they also produce nearly the same amount of nature's slow-release fertilizer for your garden/house plant use. Unlike many chemical fertilizers, these castings will not burn your plants.
Good foods for red wigglers: melon rinds, vegetable peels, bananas, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, spoiled lettuce and other greens, and virtually any other vegetable matter.
Things to avoid: meats/dairy, citrus, tomatoes/acidic foods, salt.
Mature red wigglers average about 1000 worms per pound. However, we ship bed-run, which means you will receive a mix of sizes. As we ship by weight rather than by count, this is to your advantage. Little ones weigh less, but they mature quickly. Red wigglers are rapid reproducers. Your population (under good conditions) should double within 60-90 days.
Our worms are cleaned of bedding to allow accurate weight, then packed in dry Pitt Moss to protect them during shipping. All worms are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Orders received by Saturday noon will be shipped the following Monday to assure they don't sit in a mail truck or facility over a weekend. We guarantee live delivery. Please be certain someone is there to receive them upon delivery. If this cannot be done, let us know so we can mark the package to be held at the P.O. for pickup.
Sorry, but we are unable to ship to Hawaii.
