The red wiggler mix (650 ml) contains between 100 - 200 earthworms of all ages along with cocoons living in microbe-rich habitat. Our worm mix is ideal for starting a Worm Studio or similar sized worm farms. If you have a bigger system or want to see faster composting results, you could consider getting two mixes.
The secret to a successful worm compost is by thinking about it through an ecosystems approach. Worms do not compost in isolation but rely on beneficial bacteria, fungi and protozoa to help in the decomposition. A well balanced ecosystem encourages worm health and leads to smell and bug free composting.
Our worm mix is harvested from a well balanced ecosystem and will give you the right mix of microbes and worms to get started. Since the worms are not removed from their habitat, they are much more comfortable during transit and settle quickly into their new home - your worm box.
How to use:
- Prepare your worm bin with at least 3 inches of damp bedding
- Add worm mix on the damp bedding and give them a gently mix
- Start feeding immediately with 1 cup of food/week
- You will see best composting results after 3-5 months with one worm mix and 2-3 months with two worm mixes
The worm mix is only available for local Ottawa orders! You will be sent an email/text when your order is ready for pickup.
If you wish to get them shipped to you in Canada, head over to our friends Vers Lavenir.

I was happy to receive a healthy bunch of red wigglers from The Box of Life so that I can produce some fertilizer to use in my garden next spring. A few weeks in, they are busily at work eating my kitchen scraps!
I graduated from a homemade worm-homes to a BOX of LIFE about 8 years ago, it is a beautiful easy to use worm composting system. They were very helpful and provided answers quickly to any questions I had.
my Red wigglers are in good form. They are well alive and are very busy, thanks to yours informations. I am on the second box, half full and the first box is totally full.
We were totally satisfied with the prompt response to our order of Red Wigglers. Great customer service when we picked up our worms and our worm boxes were producing castings within a week and continue to take care of our composting needs. Thanks
Well I've not managed to kill them off so I guess things are going well, they seem to be happy in their new home. Hope to see them multiplying, love all the tips found on the site and as well on the FB page.
