Product Details

Composting with worms is a sustainable and easy way to reduce organic waste and produce high-quality compost. These voracious eaters consume fruit and vegetable scraps, cardboard, shredded paper, and other organic waste that would otherwise be thrown away. Worms work to break down this organic matter and expel useful worm waste. The collected worm waste is the 100% organic and chemical-free medium known as "worm castings" or "vermicast". Worm castings are appreciated by many home gardeners as a treasured component in topsoil or potting soil mixtures. Castings add eco-friendly organic matter to soil, reduce erosion, retain moisture, and improve soil aeration. By diverting food scraps, paper, and other organic materials from the trash and converting them into an eco-friendly medium, worm composting also helps to reduce waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. Luckily, maintaining a worm composting system is relatively easy. These worms can be kept indoors or outdoors, reproduce quickly, and require little attention beyond adding food scraps and keeping the compost moist. Even those with limited space or time can engage in this eco-friendly practice. Composting with live earthworms is the perfect solution for anyone looking to live sustainably. And with a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, Worm Nerd is your go-to source for all things vermiculture.

    Q:Can these be used as food for toads? How would I keep them or store them since I only need 1 worm per day?

    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  It can be used as feed. In nature they eat it anyways. Worms need to be kept in a worm bedding and they will live and continue to grow and breed.”

      These guys were ready to eat upon arrival
      I ordered 500 and all seemed to be thriving when arrived. They all dug into their bedding immediately. I added a little banana peel and cucumber peelings after set up. I opened the lid this morning and I could see them under the food actively eating. Looking forward to seeing what worm castings and worm tea from these worms does for my plants.
