My worms were shipped on Tuesday and I picked them up at the local post office on Friday morning - we live in a very rural area, so I thought this was great service. The worms are shipped in dry peat moss - it is explained that it is better to ship them dry like this because they actually do much worse if the bedding is wet - it tends to freeze them in cold weather, and overheat in summer. The instructions say to add half a cup of water to the bag immediately, so I did this and I immediately saw lots and lots of very healthy, good sized worms. I didn't see a single dead one. It is important to have your worm bin or whatever you are going to use to compost already set up and ready to go before your worms arrive. I had purchased the Worm Factory 360 well ahead of time and had watched both their DVD and read the instruction manual, and had everything set up and ready to go, with a bit of food placed in each corner. I followed the directions and left them uncovered after transfer to the Worm Factory, and left a light on overnight. The worms clearly don't like light, so that encourages them to burrow. I don't know if it was was really necessary to keep the light on all night, because I checked about an hour after adding them, and the worms had already travelled all over the bin, and were clustered around the food in the corners. They were visibly plumper after just an hour, probably from rehydrating after shipment. I have had my worms for only a few days now, but could not be happier. I did read a few negative reviews, but I had nothing but a positive experience, and would order more if I needed them, and plan on recommending this company to anyone I can manage to convince to give vermiculture composting a try. I think it would be a great classroom project for a biology teacher or an elementary school teacher. I also highly recommend the informative little book Worms Eat My Garbage. I did notice slight differences in recommendations from one source to another, so I interpret this as meaning that there is no one right way to care for the worms, as long as you follow some general guidelines on feeding, hydration, and temperature. I am very excited about my new little hobby, and will give an update hopefully in a few months once I have hopefully gained a bit more experience. Addendum: December 6, 2012 - 2 months after my first order of a pound of worms, my vermiculture project is going great. The only problems I have had are the usual beginner ones of overfeeding the worms and getting the bins too wet, but this is easily corrected by cutting back on feeding and adding dry carbon sources like shredded cardboard and newspaper. The worms seem to be multiplying and doing their job. But my initial one pound of worms has not been sufficient to keep up with our food scraps - we are vegetarians and generate a lot of fruit peels, coffee grounds, etc. There is a tendency, I think, once you start doing this, to want to save all scraps and feed them all to the worms. My solution is that I bought a 14 gallon rubbermaid bin, and another 10 gallon bin for drainage, and have started a second composting bin to handle all our scraps. I think, if I had to do this over again, that I would have gone this simple and cheap route to begin with - the Worm Factory is working ok, but the material in the lower trays does tend to get pretty compressed and dense from all the trays stacked on top, and I'm not sure the air flow is that good, either. I really have to watch moisture levels and mix things up a bit. Anyway, to start my new bin, I ordered 2 more pounds of worms from Uncle Jims - I placed my order last Friday, and they shipped early Monday. Despite the fact that I live in very rural Arizona, the worms were in my post office by 11 a.m. on Wednesday - amazing. And they were amazingly dense and healthy. Just balls and balls and clumps and clumps of mostly plump, wiggly worms. Hopefully this will be my last worm order and my 3 pounds of worms will multiply and now keep up with all scraps without danger of overfeeding. Uncle Jims is awesome - highly recommended. Really hard to go wrong with them - they clearly state that if there are any problems, they will ship more worms immediately, free of charge. I will recommend to all my friends and neighbors - hopefully I can get some converts to try out this eco-friendly hobby. Thanks, Uncle Jims! Review: I received my pound of worms very quickly and every single one was alive and healthy. I had been prepping my worm factory 360 for a week so it was nice and ready. I would buy from this seller again ALL DAY LONG! ## Features - The Best Worms for Composting: Our Red Wiggler worms are harvested from worm beds that are decades old and may contain different earthworm species. Diversity is superior because they work all layers of the compost, not just the top few inches, giving you a better compost in a shorter amount of time - Composting Worms for Garden: Using earthworms for composting purposes can prove to be a benefit to any garden or farm soil. The food scraps and waste they consume in the compost bin gets digested and transformed into some of the most nutritious earth material that lawns and gardens could grow in: worm castings! - Worms for Composting: The worm castings produced by our Red Wigglers are 7 times richer in phosphates, 5 times richer in nitrogen, and 11 times richer in potash than average lawn soil. The ample supply of nutrients provided by each worm composter helps your garden to grow healthier plants and this valuable substance is all a result of your trash! - Composting Worms Help the Earth: By feeding your food scraps to your worms for composting instead of throwing them away, you help to recycle nutrients and keep less trash in landfills. Using worm castings also reduces the need for harmful earth-destroying chemicals, instead relying on safe, organic production. - Uncle Jim's Worm Farm: We've been in business for over 50 years, using over 40 acres of land, the largest worm farm in the US! We're a “Down to Earth” company and handle the whole process of growing and farming composting worms for the market from start to finish. All of our worms are proudly raised in the USA.

However when I called customer service they were very nice and corrected the issue with a new shipment right away. Received another shipment within 5 days of very good quality, lively worms. ## Frequently Bought Together - Uncle Jim's Worm Farm 1000 Count Red Wiggler Composting Worms Mix for Garden Soil or Fishing | Pack of Compost Worms Improves Soil Structure and Quality for Healthier Gardens - The Original Vermihut ® Plus 5 – Tray Worm Composter -Dark Green,Sustainable Design for Both Indoor & Outdoor, Worm Compost Bin for Vermicomposting Starter, Recycling Food Wastes - Urban Worm Coco Coir Soil Amendment and Bedding (6) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/740762667-uncle-jims-worm-farm-1000-count-red-wiggler-composting-worms](https://www.desertcart.us/products/740762667-uncle-jims-worm-farm-1000-count-red-wiggler-composting-worms) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
