Care & benefits
Everything red wiggler composting worms do for your soil
They sanitize, fertilize and regenerate — completely naturally.
🌾
Great for crops
The worm burrows through the ground as it feeds and deposits its castings, turning the soil into a much more fertile one.
♻️
Soil restoration
Worm castings help restore land eroded by the continuous use of artificial fertilizers and aggressive farming practices.
🧪
Natural sanitizer
It doesn't carry or transmit diseases; it feeds on fungi, bacteria and disease-causing microbial flora.
🐟
Bait & live feed
Highly valued as fishing bait and as live feed for birds, fish, frogs and iguanas, thanks to its high protein content.
📦
Organic recycling
Turns paper, cardboard and biodegradable organic waste into top-quality fertilizer.

Technical guide
Ideal parameters for your worm bin
This is how you keep your red wiggler population healthy and productive.
Parameter
Ideal range
Substrate moisture
70% – 80%
Temperature
59°F – 77°F (15°C – 25°C)
Substrate pH
6.5 – 7.5
Aeration
Loose substrate, not compacted
Reproduction and population growth: every adult worm regularly produces cocoons (capsules holding several eggs); under optimal moisture and temperature, a well-managed population can double every 60–90 days. That's why the Worm Starter Cup of 30 to 50 worms works as a starter batch: well cared for, it grows into a much larger population within a few months. You can see the full process in our video guide.
What to feed them
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Coffee grounds and crushed eggshells
Cardboard and unprinted paper, torn into small pieces
Cooked vegetable scraps, no salt or oil
What to avoid
Citrus in excess (acidifies the substrate)
Onion and garlic
Meat, dairy and fats
Salty or oily foods
