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 want to see faster composting results or have a bigger system, you could consider getting two (or more) mixes.
The secret to a successful worm compost is by thinking about it through an ecosystems approach. Worms do not compost in isolation and 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 an ecosystem.
The worm mix will give you the right start. Since the worms are not separated out of their habitat, they are much more comfortable during transit and settle quickly into their new home - your worm box - without wanting to escape.
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 1-2 cups of food/week
- You will see best composting results after 3-4 months with one worm mix and 1-2 months with two worm mixes
We are now shipping our worm mix across Ontario and Quebec!

We are a month in to our vermicomposting adventure and we are in love with our wormies! My toddler loves collecting scraps and deciding what the worms will be fed that week. It’s her job to feed the worms and she looks forward to it every week. She loves them so much I had to stop her putting toys in there for the worms to play with 😆. Akil was quick to answer questions/concerns and provided all the information I needed to confidently start our worm composter. It looks beautiful on our countertop and is very low maintenance - barely takes any time every week to maintain and we haven’t noticed any smell or flies (and our cats have shown zero interest). I look forward to harvesting some nutritious worm castings for our plants and learning more about worms along the way! I recommend them to any playgroup, classroom, family or individual!

Good service good quality
Good amount of works per jar.
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!
