We are pausing on shipping worms!
22 MayBad news first. Unfortunately, we are having to push pause on shipping worms. With extended shipping times, and temps reaching into 100 degrees it is not safe to ship. We guarantee live delivery and these factors make it too risky.
The good news is our Jumpers are doing well and are available for local pickup.

Thanks From Local Senior Residence
8 Apr
We were so pleased with the donation recently from TexasJumpers. We live in a Senior Residence where several people have started a Community Garden. When I asked them if they could use the best compost in the world, they looked forward to it eagerly . Now after just a week, they are seeing the difference. Thank you Kyle!
You are welcome! We are happy to help.
Worm question from Ft. Worth, TX
28 Jan
I was wondering if Texas or Alabama jumper worms are widespread enough to expect to find them outdoors. I’m considering adding some to raised beds and mulched areas, just hoping to seed from some wild ones if possible.
Tim in Ft. Worth, TX
Tim,
Yes, you can find Jumpers in North Texas. You can also find Nightcrawlers also known as dew worm or Missouri giant. Jumpers can be bin raised and the nightcrawlers require too much room to be bin raised.
You can populate almost any sized area with one Jumper starter farm with a little care and time.
Thanks,
Kyle
Worms in the gutter
3 Jul
Cleaning out my “leafless gutters” this weekend I came across an unusual find. How in the world did they get there? Your guess is as good as mine. I’ve seen worms in some strange places, but this might be the strangest.
Worm Castings available for pick up
10 Dec
Need a Christmas gift for the gardener in your life? I just harvested several hundred pounds of casting this weekend just in time for Christmas. A 10 lb bag at $20 can do a world of good for your winter garden or your potted plants. You can also brew a nearly unlimited supply of actively aerated compost tea.
Stock Tank Worm Bed
8 Nov
One of the ways I raise my worms is in 100 gallon stock tanks. My preference is to start with cinder blocks and a pallet on top of that. This elevates and makes for less bending over when feeding or harvesting. The lid doesn’t have to be elaborate and can be a piece of plywood laid over the top of your bin. For a lid like the one pictured, you will want to use the metal instead of the plastic version. The reason- heat is trapped by the plastic and raises the temps in the hotter months. The metal does a far better job of reflecting the heat. There are lots of ways to skin this cat and I encourage you to put you own spin on it. Look for things you have access to already and use what you already have laying around. You’ll be surprised what you can turn into a worm bed.Stock Tank Worm Bed
