500 Count Red Riggler Composting Worms for Composting
 
Turn kitchen scraps into living, nutrient-rich soil food—fast. Our 500-count Red Riggler colony speeds up composting in worm bins and garden heaps, converting peels, coffee grounds, and cardboard into premium vermicompost packed with beneficial microbes.
 
The result is healthier plants, improved soil structure, and better moisture holding for stronger growth and tastier harvests. Low-odour, easy to manage, and perfect for homes, balconies, and backyard beds.
 
SPEEDS UP COMPOSTING: Red Wigglers rapidly break down food scraps into fine, microbe-rich vermicompost.
SUPERIOR COMPOSTING: Worms transform food scraps into nutrient-rich castings that are 7 times richer in phosphates, 5 times richer in nitrogen, and 11 times richer in potash than regular soil
GARDEN BENEFITS: These composting worms improve soil structure and create nutritious worm castings, promoting healthier plant growth in gardens and farms
EASY FOR BEGINNERS: Works in worm bins, compost heaps, or worm towers; simple feeding and moisture routine with minimal maintenance.
STARTER COLONY THAT SCALES: ~500 compost worms (Eisenia fetida) to kick-start a bin or heap; The population can double in 3 months if conditions are right.
 
For those wanting to start their own worm bin, we suggest starting out with any box/container that you have. Just add a little organic waste, 'bedding material' like finished compost or shredded cardboard, and worms. 500 worms is usually enough to start a home vermicompost box - that's how much we started with.
