Buying Worms?

Spring is almost here, and time to start the spring clean up. Now is the time to add some of your worm castings to your new growth. This will feed the plants and help as a defence for those hungry bugs.

Or if you are debating on purchasing composting worms for a regular supply of castings, be very careful who you talk to and where you purchase the composting worms from. There's many outlets to buy the worms and here's a couple of suggestions to keep in mind.

1. A respectable seller who has a good review.

2. How many worms per pound are they offering?

3. What kind of composting worms are they selling?

4.Check the market value of the worms.

5. Shipping times, and postage

In re-guards to my suggestions the cheapest seller isn't the best. Remember if it's too good to be true question it!

Most sellers sell "bed run worms" meaning all different sizes.

800 to 1000 is around a pound.

Red Wigglers consume up to 100% of their body weight, and can handle stress levels.

$35.00- $40.00 per pound is average for U.S.A.( from a respectable buyer )

Make sure you order when the weather is not too hot or cold.

And ask how they are packaged. Rule of thumb- one pound of worms to one pound of bedding.
