Red Wiggler Worms (Eisenia foetida) are the most common type of composting worm! As they feed, red wigglers swallow great quantities of organic material, digest it, extract its food value and expel the residue as worm castings, which are very rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and many micronutrients. All of these elements are used by plants and will help them remain healthy and strong.
Red Wiggler Worms can process large amounts of organic matter and, under ideal conditions, can eat their body weight each day. They also reproduce rapidly, and are very tolerant of variations in growing conditions.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Your shipment of red wigglers will arrive in a cloth bag ready for release. They can be stored for several days in the refrigerator if immediate release is inconvenient. DO NOT freeze or store in a plastic container. To release, lightly water the target area and scatter them about (5-10 per square foot). The best time to release worms is early morning or after sunset. DO NOT release in direct sunlight.
Note: Item quantities are a close approximate and will arrive in various stages of growth.

my kids love em, the garden loves em, and the free tea and the castings are great for the house and garden plants, and they don't stink while in the house for winter. Worms Eat My garbage is a must read for the worm-er on the fence about the effectiveness of composting with worms, and they do arrive in 2 days as stated on the order page.
