Red Wiggler Worms are the most common composting worms. The Red Wiggler feeds on organic matter and expels it as rich worm castings or vermicompost. Worm castings are rich in nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Under ideal conditions, red wigglers can eat their body weight every day and reproduce about every three months.
Creating worm compost with our red wigglers is a simple process. We typically peel our fruits and vegetables prior to eating them, discarding the peels which contain the highest amount of nutrients. By feeding these scraps to the worms, worm composting recycles them and lets us use the bi-product to grow more fruits and vegetables.

How Red Wiggler Worms Do It
- Worms make tunnels that let water and nutrients reach plant root systems. Red Wrigglers work close to the surface and are great for lawns and gardens.
- Worms are hungry creatures eating and digesting their body weight every day, producing 100% natural fertilizer known as castings.
-
Compared to top soil, worm castings are:
- 5 times richer in Nitrogen
- 7 times richer in Phosphates
- 11 times richer in potash
Using Red Wiggler Worms for Fishing
In addition to their hard work in the lawn and garden creating nutrient rich castings, Red Wiggler is commonly used as a trout fishing worm.
