Where do I get worms from? Can I buy/purchase worms off you?
I’m sorry but we are not selling worms at the moment.
You can purchase from worm suppliers. Generally, compost worms can be bought from community gardens, nurseries, worm farmers or home hardware stores. There are also worm suppliers online. You can do an internet (Google) search online with “your area” and “purchase worms” (or something similar) and you will get some worm purchasing options local to you.
It is safe for worms to be mailed through the post and they are fine in transit for 4 to 5 days with no hardship.
Tiger worms or Red worm (Eisenia foetida) and the Indian blue worm (Perionyx excqvatus) are the best worms for Subpod.
You CANNOT use worms from your garden; these are earthworms and have different taste buds to compost worms which have evolved to eat rotting plant matter.
