Uncle Jim's Worm Farm 250 Count Red Wiggler Composting Worms Mix for Garden Soil or Fishing | Starter Pack of Compost Worms Improves Soil Structure and Quality for Healthier Gardens

I can't tell you enough how pleased I am with WORMS????!!!!! Laughing Out Loud Here!!! I can't believe I'm excited over worms!! I ordered the 250 package. They came USPS so quickly and so well packed. I ordered these for my veggie garden but have only placed them in a large(maybe 2ft x 2ft x 2ft) strong cardboard box and placed the box inside a heavy duty trash bag to make a water tight inexpensive container. A mixture of peat moss, store bought garden soil, and store bought potting soil. It's not called for, just what I had laying in the garage and mixed the three of them almost equal parts. I moistened the soil(not wet) and added the worms. I keep them on my back covered patio and water them once a week just to keep the soil mixture lightly moistened. The box gets only a few hours a day of direct sunlight but mostly in the shade of the Summer Sun. It's been about 3 weeks now and reached my hands loosely cupped through the soil and all the way to the bottom and have hundreds of very healthy and happy worms. I cannot believe how many in each handful throughout the entire homemade container I made. The cool part is how neat the bag was tied and the bag itself is a conversation piece. This cool green color cloth/nylon(not sure what the bag is made of) with the UNCLE JIM'S WORM FARM LOGO and cartoon type picture of UNCLE JIM. I washed it in a gentle cycle and air dried it and framed it and hung it up in my Bar. Hey!, I'd buy even just a few empty new bags alone just for conversation and Hey again Uncle Jim, do you sell T-Shirts? Very Cool Stuff. Thank you, great product, packaging and service!!! You also get great, easy directions and some neat educational worm science info. By the way, I'm an Electrical Engineer not a farmer or fisherman, just an avid gardener.

The worms came on time, healthy and ready to work (eat). The instructions were excellent and the worms are happily doing what worms do in my basement. No flies, no bugs, no smell.

Very happy with my worms. They arrived faster than expected. All healthy and a great start to my vermicomposting.

UDPATE: So today was the first feeding. Worms ate almost everything and if I am not mistaken i think I saw some little eggs on the underside of a piece of leftover banana and there was a small amount of worm casting in my bin. Also I definitely did not get enough worms. I ordered the 250 bc I was worried I would have to move to a bigger bin too soon but now that I see what the worms can do I wish I would have just fully committed and got the recommended 1000 worms ORIGINAL POST: The worms came a day early so I was really glad I had the bin prepped already a couple days before. Pretty much just like most youtube videos say there was a jail break the first night and a few rogue worms were anywhere and everywhere the could get to in the morning. The next night a few less were roaming about and also just as most you tubers and the instructions state by the third day the worms were settled and there was far less activity. I am happy with the worms. I should have ordered more to start but I was concerned about having too many since the population will increase over time. I guess I just wanted a slower journey since I am new to vermicomposting and a little freaked out by worms in general. They are far less creepy somehow than even what I see in the yard. Something about seeing that they just want to hunker down and go about their business makes them seem less scary. Overall think they are a good value but was surprised at now little packaging came in the box. Poor little critters must have been sliding all around in the spacious fedex box.

Worms we're not what we were expecting,on top of them being all deceased on delivery, I don't think the delivery person was very observed in noticing that they were a living package. It was extremely hot, and I'm not sure if a neighbor signed or if just left at apartment door, we weren't home at the actual delivery drop, and not sure how accurate the email was to actual time. The worms we're tiny compared to other worms of the same selling description, that have purchased in the past but there were many of them but not able to see if accurate since they were starting to mold and turn to mush when we opened them. I was worried about them being dried out but they were not, to much moisture I believe. I was thinking freeze dried like ants come... Lol It's kind of cruel to subject any living thing to this type of handling, after seeing them in this state. Yes just worms but yes we're just people and as funny as this world works.... Well I hope they did not suffer. Didn't bother contacting seller, didn't want a new batch sent out and put in the same position. Unless delivery driver was more apt to direct time or safer handling. Like a fridge in the truck, it seems not worth my $50, the sellers worm life's at stake, and the drivers mood or schedule to repeat this death sentence. Would of liked money back, but lesson learned and a better more communicated delivery for any future purchase. So overall... Disappointed in delivery, driver, and seller willingness to not put the package through a process that 50/50 chance of survival.. there not a dime a dozen on my dime.... Sorry. Enjoy your payment on your worms behalves. 🪱💰⏳🪦🚚

Worms came in good shape. Smaller than I would have liked to use as food for my pet pike. He’ll have to deal with it. Added to a soil bin with some compost to maintain a habitat. These were a replacement for my first shipment that was affected by a flash frost. I appreciate the guarantee.

This is my second purchase from Uncle Jim’s and I was pleased with these worms as well

Initially, I thought most were dead, but after a day or so they started squirming. I spoke with the vendor because I thought they were mostly dead. They responded quickly, told me when the worms were harvested and that they should be alive. By then, I realized that most worms were indeed alive. They just needed to acclimate a bit longer. The bedding and coconut shred provided is very useful, especially for beginners. They arrived in a well-suited strong bag with bedding, plus extra bedding in the box they came in. They also provided a charcoal heater to keep them warm during delivery. Worms were not cold, or unhealthy. Delivery was very fast. Customer should ideally be home when they arrive to avoid leaving them in unsuitable environments.

Arrived incredibly healthy and active.

As worms go these guys are great. Packaging was awesome, worms survived their journey and instructions are provided for adding the worms to the compost bins. Thanks Uncle Jim!

Most of worms seemed very healthy and active. Packaging was impressively well done as well. Overall it was a very satisfying purchase!

- 1 star for not having 250 worms. -0.5 star for shipping company. Other than that the worms are doing great. The ones that made it are big and fat and there are more now than when i started my bin. Would buy again.
