Review: Healthy Worms, Great Composters! - We are growing vegetables and blackberries using regenerative farming practices. As part of the process, we create our own compost. Worms and worm castings enrich compost and help aerate soil. Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm has sold worms for years and has a good reputation for quality, so when we needed worms, we bought them from Uncle Jim’s. We bought both Night Crawlers and Red Wrigglers, but if we were to order again, we would buy just Red Wrigglers as the more efficient composter. Meanwhile, Night Crawlers will come on their own as we improve the soil. The Uncle Jim’s worms arrived about 2 days after ordering. The soil they were shipped in was still moist. The worms appeared healthy and were even more active than we anticipated. To house the worms, we created double bucket towers using 5-gallon plastic buckets. For the top buckets, we drilled about a dozen 1/4-inch drain holes in the bottom. We also drilled about a dozen 1/4-inch air holes around the rim. To prevent escape, we covered the air holes with wire mesh put on the outside of the bucket. (Putting the covers on the inside of the bucket works too.) We secured the mesh to the bucket with caulking. To create the worms’ living conditions, we added a layer of bedding to the bottom of the top bucket. Bedding can be things like torn up cardboard and leaves. We then added garden dirt and compost to fill the bucket about half full. Next, we thoroughly moistened the bucket’s contents and let the excess water drain. Finally, we set the top bucket inside the bottom bucket; the bottom bucket has no holes. (Numerous videos on how to build these towers are on the Internet.) The worms, of course, need food. What we feed the worms is based in part upon suggestions found online and also our own trial and error of what the worms seem to like. Our worms seem to favor fine cornmeal; in fact, once we started feeding cornmeal the attempted prison breaks stopped. Worms eat all kinds of things, including vegetables, some fruit, brown paper (e.g., craft or shipping paper), cardboard, napkins, mushrooms, eggshells, leaves. Our experience, also supported by experts, is worms love brown paper, watermelon, and finely ground cornmeal. The type of compost desired also influences what to feed the worms. Per the experts, “brown” feedings (e.g., brown paper, cardboard, leaves) tend to promote beneficial fungal growth; “green” feedings (e.g., veggies, grass) tend to promote beneficial bacterial growth. A very general guide would be to feed the worms every 4 to 7 days, but the actual frequency depends on how much the worms eat. Worms need water too. The dirt should be kept moist, but not wet. An example of moist would be a wrung-out wet sponge. The worm towers should be kept out of the sun. They should not be allowed to get too hot. In addition, we put a piece of cardboard over the very top of the dirt. When we remove the lid, the worms are still protected by the cardboard. We use worm castings to make tea. We use the castings to mix into compost. We use worm casting directly as a dip as we plant. These are just a few examples of how castings can be used to improve compost, soil, and plants.
Review: They are sent with instructions, so read them - The worms were in great shape, they were dry, orderless and mixed with dirt, they arrived 6 days early (and the bin I ordered is held up in transit due to weather. They were due to arrive within a day of each other originally), so I had to do a makeshift bin, which, the only problem was that I had to find something to make a bin with. I ended up using an old office trash can that didn't have any holes in it. I used some kraft paper, corrugated cardboard and pulp egg crates all damp and tore up. I didn't add dirt, because the worms came in what looked like potting soil. I emptied the worm bag into the bin, added more paper stuff and a small amount of damp kitchen compost (used coffee grounds, vegetable peels, oatmeal scraps, crushed eggshells...). I covered the lot with a large piece of damp cardboard and left it in the kitchen under the light. Before I got the compost put in, I had placed the damp cardboard over the top and went on with things I was doing. When I went back to add the compost, the worms were trying to escape, crawling all over the cardboard and up the sides of the bin. I added the compost, replaced the escaping worms back in the bin and replaced the cardboard, placing it down on top of the compost, leaving several inches between that and the top of the bin. I then left the whole works in the kitchen under the kitchen light (as per included worm instructions). The worms settled down, and I haven't had any other issues. I do have a multi-level worm bin coming, but it got held up in shipping and won't be here for a couple of weeks now. These were in great shape, live and moving. If I ever want more worms, I would consider buying from this vendor again.

## Features

- The Best Worms for Composting: Our Red Wiggler worms are harvested from worm beds that are decades old and may contain different earthworm species. Diversity is superior because they work all layers of the compost, not just the top few inches, giving you a better compost in a shorter amount of time
- Composting Worms for Garden: Using earthworms for composting purposes can prove to be a benefit to any garden or farm soil. The food scraps and waste they consume in the compost bin gets digested and transformed into some of the most nutritious earth material that lawns and gardens could grow in: worm castings!
- Worms for Composting: The worm castings produced by our Red Wigglers are 7 times richer in phosphates, 5 times richer in nitrogen, and 11 times richer in potash than average lawn soil. The ample supply of nutrients provided by each worm composter helps your garden to grow healthier plants and this valuable substance is all a result of your trash!
- Composting Worms Help the Earth: By feeding your food scraps to your worms for composting instead of throwing them away, you help to recycle nutrients and keep less trash in landfills. Using worm castings also reduces the need for harmful earth-destroying chemicals, instead relying on safe, organic production.
- Uncle Jim's Worm Farm: We've been in business for over 50 years, using over 40 acres of land, the largest worm farm in the US! We're a “Down to Earth” company and handle the whole process of growing and farming composting worms for the market from start to finish. All of our worms are proudly raised in the USA. Here at Uncle Jim's, we really know worms!
