Frequently asked questions
Can I buy composting worms locally?
Yes. WormsMarketplace connects you with local worm breeders for direct pickup or express shipping. Use the map or a suburb search to find sellers near you.
How many composting worms do I need to start?
Most home worm farms start with about 1,000 worms (roughly 250 g). Worms eat around half their body weight in scraps per day once settled.
Are composting worms the same as garden earthworms?
No. Composting worms live in surface litter and rich organic matter. Garden earthworms burrow deep in soil and do poorly in a worm farm.
