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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worms January 13, 2011

I was not sure ordering worms for the first time, I was not sure quite what to expect being that I live in an area that 2"deep is solid cap rock. We created raised beds for vegetables, bringing in 12 inches of dirt. They arrived in a timely manner, 4 days. Large bag for price, even with the filler more worms than I could count. Upon opening the bag all worms were still moist and moving around, after I placed them in the dirt, immediately they all began to disappear. Directions included were followed besides worms being divided into 4 raised vegetable garden beds instead of keeping in one large colony. Overall great service and worms seem to be acting like worms. I included some photos to give a better visual of what to expect being that there is a limited amount of information on this product. My photos represent a 1.lb bag.
