2.0 out of 5 stars Worm Farm, August 27, 2004

By	S. Beck (Arizona) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This worm farm was interesting put together, but be warned it is extremely flimsy. It is made from styroam and plastic and is not very portable. The mail-in certificate for worms as advertised is misleading - you have to pay additional money to get a kit. It is cheaper to go to a bait store and buy nightcrawlers to put in the container. This lasted about a month at my house and I ended up tossing it in the garbage. Very cheaply made and not worth what you pay for it. You could make your own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worms Extra???, April 21, 2003

By	Linda (Michigan) - See all my reviews

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased this item for my 5-year old nephew. I recently learned that his mother had to send [additional money] to the company in order to receive the worms and the dirt!! Very disappointing. Nothing like getting a birthday present and then being forced to pay for it! What could my sister-in-law say to her teary-eyed 5-year old who wanted his worms? I intend to write to the manufacuturer and share my story with them. Moral: Send a check when you send this gift to anyone!

3.0 out of 5 stars WormVue Wonders, July 11, 2003

By	H. Miller "westwoodrr2nc" (Anderson, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased this for my 5yr. old grandson for Christmas last year and he was thrilled with it. By the end of the day he could label all parts of a worm and was studying the included booklet with great interest.

The worms were ordered and arrived alive and well. After 5 months, however, none of the worms had yet become visible. Thinking they were dead, his mother convinced him to empty the container. There were the worms, in perfect health! He released them to the backyard garden and goes to visit them daily.

I was very disappointed with this purchase.
