One worm order, many ways to use it

Composters love them first. Everyone else finds more uses.

Most customers choose European Nightcrawlers for indoor bins and outdoor compost piles because they want help turning scraps, leaves, bedding, and organic matter into worm-worked material. The bonus is that Super Reds are also useful in garden and lawn soil, easy to keep for fishing, and handy as live food for many pets.

Indoor composters

Kitchen scraps meet their match.

Add them to a prepared worm bin with damp bedding and a modest food supply. Set them on top, cover them, and let them naturally move down instead of stirring them in.

Outdoor compost piles

Drop the crew where the feast is.

Place worms on top of moist compostable material, cover them with the blanket, cardboard, newspaper, or leaves, and let them travel downward into the pile on their own.

Garden and lawn soil

Loosen, release, cover, relax.

For soil release, loosen a small 12 in. x 12 in. area, add the worms, and cover with the jute blanket or another breathable cover so they can naturally integrate.

Bait and pet food

Big, lively worms with bonus uses.

European Nightcrawlers are popular with anglers and live-food customers because they are active, useful, and easy to keep when given cool, moist bedding.

Inside the 2,000 count kit

Enough worms to start strong, not sprinkle and hope.

A 2,000-count order gives composters, gardeners, bait keepers, and pet-food customers a generous living crew with strong trust signals right in the offer.

2,000 live Super Red European Nightcrawlers

A serious starter population for indoor compost bins, outdoor piles, garden beds, lawn release areas, fishing bait, and pet food.

Free Natural Jute Fiber Worm Blanket

Use code FREE at checkout. The blanket helps keep worms covered, shaded, and protected as they move into compost, soil, or bedding.

Guaranteed live delivery

Live worms are the whole point. Uncle Jim's stands behind live arrival so customers can order with more confidence.

Expedited shipping included

Uncle Jim's has negotiated expedited service, and about 99% of worm orders ship 2nd Day Express with no added charge to customers.

European Nightcrawlers thriving in compost

A compost pile can get exciting.

Give your worms moisture, shade, bedding, and food scraps, then let them do the quiet work below the surface. That is the Uncle Jim's kind of garden entertainment.

Natural Jute Fiber Worm Blanket

The free blanket is not fluff. It is useful.

Use the Natural Jute Fiber Worm Blanket as a breathable cover over your bin, compost pile, or release zone. It helps keep the area darker, more protected, and more worm-friendly while they settle in.

Do this when they arrive

Open, moisten, cover, and let the worms move down naturally.

The easiest setup is also the gentlest setup. Do not dump them into dry heat, do not stir them aggressively, and do not bury them deep. Give them moisture, shade, a little food if needed, and a breathable cover.

Right away

Check the travel bag gently.

Open the package promptly and check the moisture. If the bag seems dry, add a small splash of water right away. The goal is damp, not soaked.

You may add a tiny dash of oatmeal, corn meal, or another grain-type medium as a light welcome snack. Keep it small at first so the worms can adjust without excess food heating or souring.

Garden, lawn, or soil

Make a cozy 12 in. x 12 in. landing zone.

Loosen a small area of soil about 12 inches by 12 inches. Gently dump the worms on the loosened area, then cover them with the Natural Jute Fiber Worm Blanket, cardboard, newspaper, leaves, or another breathable cover.

Do not mix them in. Let them naturally move down into their new home.

Compost bins and piles

Place them on top and cover.

For indoor composters and outdoor compost piles, add the worms to the top of prepared, moist bedding or compost material. Cover them with the jute blanket, damp cardboard, damp newspaper, or leaves.

Do not mix them through the bin or pile. They will naturally move down when the environment feels right.

Quick fit guide

Great for composters

A strong choice for indoor bins, outdoor bins, and compost piles that need a meaningful worm population.

Great for gardens and lawns

Useful for spreading small covered release zones across beds, raised gardens, or lawn soil areas.

Great for bait and pet food

Keep extras in cool, moist bedding so lively worms are ready when it is time to fish or feed.

When your food scraps pile up, don’t throw them out. Get yourself some red wiggler red worms! They are only 1 -3 inches in length, and are about as thin as a pencil lead, but don’t call them little. When these guys group together, they become a voracious force, consuming anything in their path. Mountains of vegetable scraps wouldn’t stand a chance. The worms will break them one bite at a time. But don’t fear their powerful passion, encourage it. The food they consume gets digested, and transformed into some of the most nutritious material that lawns and gardens could grow in: worm castings! These worm castings are 7 times richer in phosphates, 5 times richer in nitrogen, and 11 times richer in potash than the average lawn soil. This valuable substance is a result of your trash! Don’t supply local trash heaps with your waste; give it to some red wiggler worm! By far, these guys are the best gardeners on the planet, and will only help out your lawn or garden or both! Decrease waste, decrease the need for earth-destroying chemical, and increase organic production all at the same time!

These worms may be small, but provide a large service to saving the Earth! *Your Worm order may contain several different compost worm species.(Eisenia fetida, eisenia hortensis,Perionyx excavatus). Not to worry! Diversity in worm species is superior because they work all layers of the compost not just the top few inches. Giving you a better compost faster. This also gives an advantage in that as conditions change certain species will multiply as conditions become unfavorable for another keeping you with a constantly healthy composter* Features:

USPS 2 Day Priority Mail or FedEx Express 2 day- $12.95 for first unit. $7.00 shipping cost for every additional unit ordered

Frequently asked questions when ordering:

1. I live in California, and you ship out of Pennsylvania. Will the worms survive in transit? No worries! We ship nationwide with USPS 2 Day priority mail or FedEx Express 2 Day, so your worms will not be in transit for very long. We ship out every Monday, so you will receive them on a weekday and they are not left on a loading dock over a weekend. 99% of our orders reach their destination without fail. We ALWAYS guarantee a live delivery, so if there are any delays or other issues while in transit, we have you covered with a free reshipment of worms. 2. I live in the Northeast, can I still compost during the winter? Yes, you most certainly can. You can compost year round as long as the soil can be maintained between 40 and 80 degrees. If you have an outdoor compost bin, you can insulate the bin with mulch, hay, Styrofoam or anything that will retain heat. If you have a smaller bin, it is recommended to bring it indoors if at all possible. A garage or a basement will work perfectly. 3. I work during the day and will not be home to accept my package, is this ok? Yes and no. Because the worms are a live product, if they are left in a mail box or a parcel locker for too long, they will not survive. If you cannot be home to accept your worms, we recommend having them held at your local Post Office or delivered to your door. You can leave delivery instructions before placing your order. 4. How much Black Gold (Compost) will 1,000 composting worms create for me? Our 1,000 count of Red composting worms can create between 8 and 16 ounces of compost per day! But wait, there’s more! These worms double in population every three months, so as your worm population grows, the amount of Black Gold that they can create will grow as well. A year from introducing your 1,000 composting worms into your bin, you should now have 16,000 composting worms, which will create 8-16 pounds of composter per day! If you start out with 5,000 composting worms, by the end of one year you should have 80,000 composting worms outputting 40 to 80 pounds of compost per day. 5. What do you mean by "mix"? Will I be receiving live worms? We cannot guarantee a 100% pure species of any type composting worms. Our worms are harvested from worm beds that are decades old and may depending of time of year contain several different compost worm species. Not to worry! Bed run worms are superior because they work all layers of the compost not just the top few inches. Giving you a better compost faster. This also gives an advantage in that as conditions change certain species will multiply as conditions become unfavorable for another keeping you with a constantly healthy composter. Because they are bed run some orders may have more than one species than another but rest assured their populations will naturally adjust to the needs of your waste. Because of the adaptive nature of worms some varieties reproductive rates change with warmer weather, colder weather, moisture levels, soil content etc. 6. Are there any shipping restrictions? We are currently able to ship to all of the 48 continental United States as well as Alaska. We are also able to ship to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. We are unable to ship live worms to Hawaii due to strict laws regarding introducing non native worms into the soil. We are unable to ship to any country outside of the United States. 7. Why should I order from you over the other guys? We always put our customer’s first! We will answer any questions that you might have before ordering, when your worms are delivered, and long after you have your worms growing. We have been in this business for more than 40 years, know how to ship your worms to arrive alive, have a great relationship with USPS, and always GUARANTEE a LIVE delivery!

13.99 444197 Beet, Golden Detroit (55 Days)

Golden Detroit Beet

Beautiful golden-orange roots that won’t bleed when sliced or cooked. Has good yields and is sweetest when young, does not become fibrous when larger. Looks almost like an overgrown orange-yellow carrot! Fast growing and retains sweet flavor when mature. Also known as Yellow Detroit beet. This is the least earthy tasting beet, much more mild and sweet than the deep red ones. Many compare its flavor to that of carrots. Beets turn deep yellow when cooked and retain their sweet flavor throughout cooking. Tops are eaten raw when young and cooked when mature, roots are pickled, grilled or sliced fresh in salads.

History

Both leaf beets and root beets were developed from wild seabeets, along coastal Europe and western Asia. Beet greens—the beet tops—have been eaten and enjoyed for several thousands of years. The Romans particularly liked beet greens and discovered that the roots were tasty as well! The beet gained in popularity in Europe and America during the 1700s. The juice from the beets is used to make the only red food coloring allowed by Swedish law.

Harvest

While the beets are growing you can pick up to a third of the leaves and use them fresh or cooked. When the beet roots are 2-3" in diameter, it is time to harvest them. Pull or dig them up, and cut off the stems. Leave on a 1-2" of stem if you are going to store the roots.
