Choose Your Worm Kit

Option 1: Red Wiggler Starter Kit

500 Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida)

Our preferred choice for this shallow tray! Red Wigglers are excellent surface-dwelling composting worms that help transform organic waste into valuable castings.

Option 2: European Nightcrawler Starter Kit

100 European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia hortensis).

Larger composting worms that also make excellent fishing bait. Because European Nightcrawlers benefit from deeper bedding, plan to transfer an expanding colony to a deeper bin.

Option 3: Mixed Worm Starter Kit

250 Red Wigglers + 75 European Nightcrawlers.

Experience two popular composting worm species in one system. Monitor the colony and provide deeper housing as needed.

Recommended Worm Capacity

Worm Type Recommended Start Practical Upper Limit
Red Wigglers 250–500 750–1,000
European Nightcrawlers 75–100 150–200
Mixed Colony 250 RW + 75 ENC 500 RW + 100 ENC

Upper limits are approximate, not guaranteed stocking capacities. Actual numbers depend on conditions, maintenance, bedding volume, and colony growth.

Simple Care Instructions

Moisture: Keep bedding damp like a wrung-out sponge, never waterlogged.

Temperature: Maintain an ideal temperature of approximately 55–77°F. Protect worms from excessive heat, freezing temperatures, and direct sunlight.

Airflow: Provide suitable screened ventilation and periodically loosen compacted bedding.

Feeding: Begin with small amounts of appropriate fruit and vegetable scraps. Increase feeding only after previous food has mostly decomposed.

Bedding: Use moist shredded cardboard, uncoated paper, or suitable composting bedding.

Avoid: Meat, dairy, oils, heavily seasoned foods, excess citrus, onions, garlic, and spicy foods.
