Hello everyone. Wow, what a difference some warmer temperatures make. Below is a video from our YouTube channel that Sam made of the worm composting beds after a nice heavy feeding of cucumber food waste. Look at how fat and healthy the composting worms are!

Get your red wigglers now in our shop! We are now shipping everywhere in the continental US. We also have worm castings, worm bins and straw for bedding. Let us show you what red wigglers can do for your small garden or farm.

Here is the video from our YouTube channel of the owner of DIWW, Sam McCarthy, getting ready to harvest some worms for a customer. As you can see, our worm beds are made of straw bales put end to end to form sort of a raised bed.

When we build our beds we start off with laying out the straw bales and then adding 4″-6″ of a mix of manure/leaves/food waste. We then moisten our base layer mix and populate the bed with worms from an existing bed. Finally, we add a healthy top cover of bedding and water the bed one more time.

Without further ado, here is our YouTube video. Please do not forget to like and subscribe to our channel! Happy composting everyone!
