Product Description
The redworm is known as "Natures Wonder Worker," It eats its own body weight in compost daily. Just simply put a bag (1000 Count) of Uncle Jims redworms in your garden or compost pile and reap the best organic soil available without chemicals or fertlizers. Healthy soil equates to a garden of plentiful fruits and vegetables. The redworm also makes a delicious bite sized hi-protein treat for any aquarium fish or reptile. Trout and Pan fishermen see excellent results also.

UPDATE: We've had our red wigglers now for about a year in one of our raised bed gardens and they're still thriving. The soil in that bed is ready to be moved to other beds for vegetable growing. It is so rich and light and in 500% better than what we started with. The worms aren't exactly talking to us, but they sure seem like our choice of organic matter we discard into their home.
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!

I purchased the worms a few months ago. They arrived alive and are still going strong. Also, they have produced alot of new little babies! Great way to make some great compost for your garden!

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.
