Earthworms

[Terence Jackson]

Hey everyone, I hope all is well. I’m looking for earthworms to start a worm farm. Do anyone know any  local worm farmers or someone who may have some earthworms for sell?  

Best,

Terence

Hi Terence!
Are you looking to do vermicomposting with worms? I'm just a novice so not an expert -- I've learned that red wiggler worms are the best for processing food scraps & compost as they love eating decaying organic matter and stay closer to the surface. Earthworms are tunnelers, great for the garden as they prefer to go deeper and create aeration in the subsoil, and apparently don't eat food scraps like red wigglers do.

I've purchased 25lbs of red wiggler worms from Laughing Buddha in Metairie. You'll need to call the order in as they bring the worms down from their farm in MS.

Also, there is someone in Lafayette running a great worm compost operation called Worm Lady Recycles, her website says she ships.
