Pure Red Wiggler Composting Worms (SC)

Pure Red Wiggler Worms (Eisenia fetida) — Live, Healthy, Ship-Ready

Red Wigglers are the gold standard of composting worms — and for good reason. These are 100% pure Eisenia fetida, with no mixed species, no fillers, and no compromises. If you've ever bought worms that didn't perform in your bin, species purity is likely why. Browse all composting worms to compare species.

Why Pure Matters

A lot of worm suppliers ship mixed-species blends or mislabeled stock. Pure Red Wigglers breed faster, process waste more efficiently, and produce richer castings than mixed lots. When you buy pure, you build a thriving colony — not a guessing game.

What Red Wigglers Do Best

• Break down kitchen scraps, cardboard, paper, and organic waste into finished vermicompost
• Reproduce quickly in a well-managed bin — your colony grows with your operation
• Thrive in a wide temperature range (tolerant from 40°F to 90°F, optimal 55°F–77°F)
• Produce nutrient-dense castings that improve soil structure and microbial activity

What You're Getting

Bed-run worms — a healthy mix of adults, juveniles, and cocoons — sourced from an established, high-volume worm farm. Packed carefully for live arrival and shipped Monday through Wednesday to minimize time in transit.

Available in 1/4 lb, 1 lb, and 2 lb quantities. Whether you're starting your first bin or scaling an existing operation, we have the size you need.

Not sure how many worms to order? A good rule of thumb: one pound of Red Wigglers can process roughly half a pound of food waste per day.

Feed your growing colony with Urban Worm Chow to accelerate growth and biomass. Need bedding and a thermometer too? The Worm Bin Starter Bundle has everything to get set up in one order.
