Pure Red Wiggler worms, also known as Pure Eisenia Fetida, are renowned for their efficiency in decomposing organic waste, producing nutrient-rich vermicompost. They adapt to diverse environments and reproduce quickly, facilitating large-scale waste processing.
The resulting castings enhance soil fertility and structure, promoting healthy plant growth. They're a favorite for all kinds of composting due to their effectiveness and manageable size.
- Versatile and easy to manage for beginners
- Red Wigglers prefer 55° to 77°F climates but can tolerate 40° to 90°F
- High-quality, 100% pure stock with no other worm type in them
- Bed run and healthy
Q: How many do I need for a 55-gallon drum that is half-full of compost?
If you are not in a hurry (or if you are just getting started with vermicomposting), it is completely legitimate to start with just a 1/4 pound of worms while you learn, to be more cost-effective. And if everything goes well, the worms will of course multiply.
If this is not your first worm-rodeo and you want to start producing more efficiently, then one pound is great; two pounds is more great; (and you can even safely start with more than that).
One thing to consider: There is a limit: Once there are four pounds of worms per square foot, they will stop reproducing.
