do the worms come with dirt?

I do not know. I had them shipped directly to my son in Seattle. AND his wife left them two days in the curbside mailbox before she went out to get the mail and found them! However, she says they were still active. And they put them in the ground where they were needed. As of last week, when I asked, they said they were doing fine.

they come with peat moss in the package. and a little bit of dirt. but most importantly the love that brought my family together over composting.

They are packaged in about a handful of dirt in a green bag. You'll have to already have an environment with dirt to transfer them to. The dirt in the bag is only sufficient for transportation.

I found they came packed in a breathable bag with plenty of peat moss. also large breathing holes in the box. Survived delivery through Michigan's sub freezing March weather

We have had ours since last spring and don't have a lot either. We are another ready to remove the bottom and restart. The worms look healthy and are getting much bigger

Yes sir they are. This unit did not come with them. There are several outlets here on Amazon for your worms, uncle Jim's is very reputable and loaded with information to help you. I am lucky enough to have a neighbor who's population had exploded this past season, so I was blessed with some free ones!! Hope this helped, write back if you need more info....Happy Holidays to you and yours.....Tom

I didn't buy mine from Walmart, but there were a bunch of big ones. I don't think I kept it wet enough, the compost. when I sift the compost, it take out any worms I see and put back before I nuke the compost to sterilize it. I guess they doing there job. Good Luck, Mike

no, just the bamboo and container. you don't need soil - I had some left over gravel that I put in the container to hold it up. you can get that at Walmart Joannes etc.

Well vented but don't let The bins get to thick with debris. Nothing bothering mine other than worms and a little smell. Maybe you're putting to much compost debris in the bin at one time? it's taking too long for the worms to eat it so therefore the flies have something to deposit their eggs upon. I wouldn't hesitate to call the worm farm and ask him any questions, if you haven't done so yet.

nope. the dirt is almost absorbed into the rubber, it becomes really disgusting looking. it keeps its color for about 48 hours. Seriously i dont know why this is even on the website anymore it is not worth $0.01. Worst thing i have ever purchased.

Thanks you for your quick response. Bit I guess I still don't quite understand. The directions say to either use them on primary runs (which I guess are the little ridges just below the surface), exploratory runs (which I didn't understand), or in the deep tunnels (which I guess is right inside the little volcanoes or mounds they dig. I have tons of mounds, so I thought I'd drop the worms in there first, unless that is not the best option. Right now, I've smashed all the mounds down and will check which ones reappear. Thanks again.

Well I have never looked for worms....but sure as the sun is in the sky, the 2 bags I just bought are outta here!!! Wish I never read the reviews.

Yes and they can put dirt in and mix & you get stuck cleaning out! LOL! Can NOT say enough about the quality. My 2 grandsons have 4 each-and love each one-although they are big toys! Good outside too!

I have red worms growing in mine without any issues, but I'm not sure. Might be worth asking the manufacturer? Walmart sells it too but I never found any locally which is why I ordered it from Amazon.

First bug has to sink to the bottom for the cleaner to pick them up. Then it depends on the cleaners ability to pick the bugs up. Once trapped in the canister, they're dead and won't get out. For me I mostly find the occasional worm.

I don't recall. This product looked like dirt and had dirt. I discarded it as I wasn't inclined to use it.

No, it does not include worms. I bought the Red Wigglers on Amazon from "Uncle Jim's Worms". You can also buy worms locally from other sites if you prefer.

They come in a small box. The worms themselves are inside a cloth pouch. There are pages of newspaper or brown-paper bag type paper, but there is no mealworm bedding.

Yes they do show dirt. They are easily cleaned however. Probably with kids, colored cushions would make more sense.

Lots of worms 1-2 inches long. After spending the summer in my compost they are much fatter and more plentiful.
