Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I bought the earthworm eggs for a wonderful friend who had helped me in my garden when I wasn't able to do the work. Her dirt is horrible clay, and she was complaining that she had been digging up a dead plant and hadn't seen one worm. When I saw these earthworm eggs, I immediately ordered them, presented them to her in a bright purple trug and you would have thought I gave her a million dollars! She was so thrilled, spent the weekend carefully spreading her earthworm eggs out over her flower beds. I can't wait to hear next year how her worm population is...this is a true gardeners gift!!

Easy way to add organic fertilizer to garden. The worms do all the work!

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

They arived still moist. Put them into my garden beds the next day. After a month I was amazed at the new worms I had. Just the thing for clay based heavy composted beds. I expect the worms by next year to have to worked their magic on the clay. Very pleased.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I put the eggs in my raised beds and kept them watered. I do not see any worms at all, 4 weeks after "planting" them. Not sure if any hatched or grew.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Our raised planters in the school yard have lovely soil, but needed to be richer and required additional nutrients. We purchased earth worm eggs (who knew?) and sprinkled them in various planters. Now, a few weeks later, there are worms in our beds...and we know because the students keep finding them when they plant in the garden. Wormy fun! And lovely soil!

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I haven't been gardening long, but I was very happy to find that I could order red wigglers from Gardeners. Call me silly, call me odd, but I think worms are the coolest life form, and I am very happy to have added 3000 eggs to my garden and yard!

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I purchased these last year and disbursed them according to the instructions. I didn't see any earthworms or real change.

However, this year has been a different story. The first rain came and I saw earthworms everywhere, where the previous year, there hadn't been hardly any at all. The majority were all about the same size indicating a similar age.

I am looking forward to seeing the changes in the soil this year.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

When we moved to Texas it didn't take me long to realize the soil here is like lake-bottom muck; not conducive to growing much of anything well. I built raised garden beds and filled them with good soil and compost. The crowning touch was to introduce earthworms for all the good they do in a garden. The earthworm eggs product from Gardener's Supply seemed a good value my dollar - 1500 eggs that will generate 4500 to 6000 earthworms within a three month period of time. I didn't "plant" the eggs as soon as they arrived and feared that they'd lose their vitality. When I did "plant" them in my garden (October), I saw a number of baby earthworms squirm their way into the soil. I was truly delighted. I hope they like my vegetable and flower beds and thrive in their new home. I hope to see a good community of worms in my garden as I put in my spring garden.

Easy to spread and use.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Great product. Eggs hatched and many small worms found in corners of the garden bed as instructions indicated would happen. Hope to purchase more in the future in hopes of cutting my costs for yearly truck loads of compost.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

This is a great product. I read previous reviews, and understand how some might feel like there might not be that many eggs, but they're small and mixed in with a substrate so it is impossible to tell. I purchased two packages and live on a half acre. Very poor soil (North Carolina clay and new construction). I have lots of worms now. You can SEE the soil improving at the surface from all the work these guys are doing. Just be patient. They take time to multiply and do their thing. Won't work in a couple months. Give it a year. We're talking soil manipulation here, after all!

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Not sure of the value of this product in the southwest. I have only seen 4 or 5 worms. May be too dry but I water 3 times a week and all my vegetables survived.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Hi,
I was a little worried when I first got these as it looked like just a big bag of soil. I spread it in my beds in front of my house, and boy am I glad I did!

I can see the difference in my heavy clay soil, I have piles of fresh castings in all my flower beds, and my flowers have never been happier. My soil is lighter, aerated, and fertilized daily!

I am a little confused about some of the reviews posted. These eggs need to be sprinkled into your beds and raked into the soil,preferably with mulch applied over them for them to hatch. Please remember these eggs look just like grains of sand, you need to put them into the garden with organic material and water for them to hatch.

Please don't expect to receive a big wriggling bag of worms as in the picture posted. Expect a bag of what appears to be worm castings (worm poop) throw it in your beds, rake, mulch, water and you are done.

You will start to see little piles of castings(worm poo) on the soil surface within 3-6 months ;)

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

After several weeks no earthworms hatched. I finally purchased earthworms locally. Would NOT recommend purchasing and am wondering why Gardeners Supplies even carries this product.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

First of all I had to call to find out the status of my order as weeks had passed and no eggs. Then when I did call I was told they wouldn't come until the fall. I cancelled my order and was then called back a few minutes later to be told that I would receive my order in 2-3 weeks. When I got my order there was no way there were 1,500 eggs. Even with a magnifying glass I was not able to locate many. I felt like I rec'd a lot of worm castings but not the amount of eggs promised. Dissapointed

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

The earth worm eggs took some time to hatch, but that gave me time to set them up with a nice home outside. The wife didn't want them in the kitchen for some reason!

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

our soil needs all the help it can get. love the earthworm eggs rather than the worms. easy, easy, easy to disperse.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I put these guys in my beds and in my composter and they're having a great time turning the organic matter into plant food. They help my compost break down very quickly, and they continue to grow and multiply! One of the best purchases I've ever made for the garden.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

product is fabulous ! my plants are so beautiful , and the worms are happy with there new homes in my gardens and lawn ! but good thing there deep under ground ! and still manage to keep my soil the healthiest !

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Its now two years since I put the eggs all around my house and I cant even get a shovelful of what used to be solid clay without chopping the poor worms in half. What a difference in soil quality. The first year I didnt see much, but the second year, WOW.
Am ordering another bag for the other side of the house.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

Sadly, I have seen not one worm. Guess I have to go back to transporting from other beds.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I followed the directions, really I did...But most of the eggs did not hatch. The worms that did hatch died within a week. I gave them all tiny funerals, but still..

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

These worms arrived in great shape and I was able to store them in the fridge for a few days until I was ready to use them. They hatched and my new veg bed is in great shape.

Comments about Earthworm Eggs:

I purchased earthworms as a Christmas present for my father. The worms were shipped to him at the beginning of December meaning that he had to keep the eggs over the winter until it was warm enough in the spring to put them outside. My father has not noticed any increase in earthworms.
