I really like Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm European Nightcrawlers for composting because the one-pound pack provides a sufficient number of worms to start off a vermicomposting system. If you choose to transfer some worms into your garden soil, these mid-range dwellers will help avoid soil compaction as they move within your garden soil to feed. The worms also aerate the soil while they work through the compost, leaving behind rich castings full of valuable nutrients your plants will love. I appreciate the massive appetite of these worms that devour larger food scraps, leaves, and other items like cardboard quickly. Uncle Jim’s Worm Farm European Nightcrawlers composting worms are a top choice for vermicomposting because they grow up to eight inches long, eating their way through more kitchen food waste than smaller species of worms.

Worms are small upon arrival and need time to grow to maturity.

Seems a bit costly, but for the worm count it is reasonable.

This worm pack is best for those who use a small vermicomposter or to buy in quantity for a larger system. I give Nature’s Little Recyclers a spot as one of the best worms for composting due to their affordable pricing and reliable quality. The only downside to this pack of composting worms is that they ship them when they are babies, so many customers feel unhappy about the need to wait for them to mature. Red wigglers feed through large amounts of compost daily, and as they reproduce, you can use the extras for nutritious pet food or even fishing. I also appreciate that these worms come from a sustainable growing practice, which is better for the environment. I like that the worms produce a large number of castings, so it’s easy to enrich your garden soil to grow abundant vegetable crops, flowers, and plants that are lush and healthy. The Red Wiggler Earthworms by Nature’s Little Recyclers are some of the best vermicomposting worms because they are always eager to devour through your kitchen scraps.

One pack doesn’t supply enough worms to start composting efficiently (order more packs).

Many customers found a fewer count of worms in the package, but many are very small and could be missed.
