I joined Kyle with MidwestWorms.com to harvest European Nightcrawlers (Eisenia Hortensis) from his worm farm in Missouri. Midwest Worms takes great care in preparing orders so that their worms arrive to you alive and healthy. European Nightcrawlers are an excellent fishing and composting worm and are similar to the Red Wiggler (Eisenia Fetida). This video answers some common questions that people have about the packaging and shipping process. Compost worms that are not properly prepared may not make it alive to your door step. One common mistake that worm farmers make in an effort to save on shipping costs is adding too little bedding to the bag that the worms are being shipped in.







You can contact your nearest local department of agriculture/ forestry to find out which species of worms are recommended and not recommended for your region. You can also contact your local University extension service for more information about worms for your region. Before introducing worms, check your local restrictions on worm species.

Remember to always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves when handling worms and worm bedding. Also, wash your hands properly after handling worms and their bedding.
