To find red wigglers outside Ottawa, try looking for them on Kijiji, local gardening groups or google 'red wigglers near me'. 

 

The earthworm mix contains between 100 - 200 red wigglers of all ages along with cocoons living in a microbe-rich bedding. We sell them in a large 650 ml yogurt container and is a more affordable way of buying worms as compared to buying them by weight. We have sold this mix to hundreds of happy customers who were starting up their worm farms. 

Who is this worm mix for?

Our worm mix is for new worm parents looking to start a worm bin. Any experienced worm composter will tell you that the secret to a successful bin are the essential microbes as they are the first to break down your food scraps so the wormies can eat the smaller pieces.

If you are starting new, our worm mix approach provides you with microbe-rich material from our worm farms so you can have a stable system right from the start. As the worms are in their original environment, they will settle easily into their new home.

Our wormies are fed a diet of spent coffee grinds and fruit peels from our neighbourhood cafe along with shredded cardboard. 

The worm mix is only available for local Ottawa orders! You will be sent an email/text when your order is ready for pickup.

My wormies

Been feeding them once a week but I think it was too much so last week I only added dry bedding.I had mold. They seemed to like it better. They weren't at the bottom. Played the piano today & they started dropping down. Think they have ears & didn't like it. Not sure. So I took them off the piano & put them in a cupboard above the sink.

Great product and great people!

I highly recommend The Box of Life. Everyone from the team I've met is professional and friendly. I always get a response quickly, and the worms are happy. They have a vision for expanding the presence of vermicomposting across the region, and especially working with schools. I am glad to be able to support an amazing local social enterprise, AND get all the worms I need anytime.
