Live Worms Starter Pack

Turn your kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost and boost your soil health naturally with Food2Soil’s Live Worms Starter Pack. Whether you’re starting a worm farm or adding life to your garden beds, these compost worms will supercharge your soil with beneficial microbes and castings.

What’s Inside

Each pack is brimming with life:

  • Active adult worms

  • Baby worms and worm eggs

  • A generous helping of worm castings and compost

You’ll also love that the worm-friendly cardboard packaging can be torn up and fed straight back to your composting crew.

Why It Works

This starter pack includes a hardy blend of three powerful compost worm species (depending on the season):

  • Red Wigglers (Eisenia fetida)

  • Blue Worms

  • Tiger Worms

These worms are bred by trusted worm farmers across Australia and raised on commercial food scraps and organic waste diverted from landfill. With a rapid 12-week breeding cycle, your worm population will multiply fast, creating a steady supply of nutrient-dense worm castings to improve soil structure, moisture retention, and plant health.

How to Use

  • Add worms directly to your worm farm, garden bed, or compost heap

  • Keep the system moist and feed regularly with kitchen scraps

  • For best results, apply All-Purpose Biofertiliser + Seaweed every few months to maintain a thriving, microbe-rich environment

Greatest Customer Service

Thanks so much Team Food2Soil! My initial order was not what i expected as there had been some deaths of the worms and the soil core was smelly (not in a 'composty' way). I reached out to the team and have had brilliant follow up service and advice. I received a re-send of my original order and i am happy to report, 1000 live and wriggly worms arrived and are currently devouring our green waste in their new home. We are excited to be on the compost journey and thank Food 2 Soil for being so supportive. Looking forward to expanding my little farm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the Live Worms Starter Pack?

The Live Worms Starter Pack provides everything you need to start or enhance your worm farm: 1) a mix of adult worms, baby worms, and worm eggs, 2) extra worm castings and compost to kickstart your system, and 3) a healthy combination of red wiggler worms, blue worms, and tiger worms (depending on the season). These compost worms are locally grown by experienced worm farmers and are fed with food scraps diverted from landfills in partnership with Food2Soil.

How do the worms benefit my garden?

The compost worms in the Live Worms Starter Pack break down organic scrap material into nutrient-rich compost and worm castings that are packed with beneficial microorganisms. These worm castings help improve soil structure, boost plant growth, and enhance garden vitality. The digestive process of these worms increases microbial activity in the soil, making it easier for plants to access nutrients and retain moisture. This leads to stronger, healthier plants that are more resilient to environmental stresses.

How quickly will my worm population grow?

Worms in the Live Worms Starter Pack have a fast 12-week breeding cycle from egg to adult. Your worm farm will rapidly grow, potentially doubling in population, which means more compost production and better soil enrichment. The more worms, the more efficient your composting system becomes.

What types of worms are included in the pack?

The Live Worms Starter Pack includes a combination of three types of compost worms, selected based on seasonal availability: 1) Red wiggler worms – these are perfect for composting and are highly productive. 2) Blue worms – known for their ability to thrive in cooler conditions and process scrap material efficiently. 3) Tiger worms – a resilient species that handles a wide variety of organic materials and speeds up the composting process. Each worm species contributes to producing high-quality worm castings for your garden.

How do I care for my worm farm?

To maintain a thriving worm farm, follow these easy-care steps: 1) Feed your worms with food scraps like vegetables, fruits, and other organic matter. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods. 2) Keep the worm farm in a cool, dark, and damp place to provide the best environment for your compost worms. 3) Add bedding such as shredded newspaper or cardboard to keep your worms comfortable and encourage healthy composting. 4) Harvest the worm castings every few months to enrich your garden with natural nutrients. Remember, compost worms need a balanced environment to thrive. Keep their home moist, clean, and stocked with food, and they’ll continue producing high-quality compost for your garden.
