Earthworms: eisenia foetida
(red wiggler) worms! -- This
is our main page. It gives you a bit of overall information about
the worms, starter bins, kits & worm castings we have for sale. There are 2 pictures of our
red wiggler worms: 1 in the plastic bins; 1 in our
big pits. Magic Wiggler is a member of the Make Mine Mississippi program sponsored by the Mississippi
Department of Agriculture & Commerce (MDAC). Magic Wiggler's owner,
Larry Pelletier, gives a little advice on the amount of worms you should
consider ordering, based on your individual purpose. There are links to
different uses for red wiggler worms, such as bait, food for fish & reptiles,
composting, recycling, how to start your own worm farm, etc., as well as info on how we ship
our worms,
the little test we did to show you a comparison of what happens when
rain washes raw manure, fertilizer or worm castings into our water resources. But our
drinking water is treated you say? Yes! But now you can see why! There is also a link to the State Lab Results
for the worm castings we had tested and much more.
Using
Red Worms For Bait & More --
There is much information on this page about the various ways in
which red worms can be used. Subjects covered include: direct links
to order page for puchasing red wiggler worms, starter bins or kits, worm
castings; direct link to purchase Earl B. Sheilds' book (only worm book we bought) "Raising Worms For Profit," which has been in print
since the 1960s; using or growing red worms for fishing bait (personal or commercial); red worms used as food,
since they contain a very high source of protein for animals & humans
alike & get the inside scoop on new uses currently being developed abroad,
which most Americans are not even aware of; using red worms to feed reptiles
& birds, even at zoos; using worms in your garden and/or recycling waste
to produce worm casting, which is some of the richest top soil money can
buy; a description of vermiculture & how vital it is to our planet's
very survival; overall look at starting your own worm farm & the main
factors to consider. We love working with worms &
you will too!
Tips For Worm Growers! Please Read Before You Buy Worms Anywhere! -- This page describes the process of worm
harvesting & how we feel we have improved on this traumatic experience
for our worms. There are pictures of the electric worm harvester Larry
built from an old dryer, bicycle wheels & 1/4 inch wire. It describes
the varies ways red worms are advertised for sale & the pros or cons
of each. Magic Wiggler is unique (as far as we know) in selling "family"
worm stock. Also explained is what we feel to be the best packaging &
shipping method, with pictures so you can see the process. There are
pictures of the smale & large weighing scales we use and a picture to
give you an idea of what a weighed pound or two of worms would look like,
before the bedding is added. We also list the various shipping methods,
as well as different packaging methods we have used.

See Our Operation Here
At Magic Wiggler Worm Ranch! --
This is probably my favorite page! There are lots of pictures for
you to see how we started in October 2001 & how we progressed up to
our internet & commercial debut in June 2003. All this is less than
2 years. See the different bin & pits we have used or modified along
the way. Words can not describe how fast worms breed. A picture is definitely
worth a thousand words. If we can do this in Mississippi, you can grow worms
under your sink, backyard or garage too. We can tell you exactly how
to be successful like us. No hype! No selling gimmicks! Just straight,
honest talk from our own personal experience!
Send Your Red Worm Questions
or Comments To Magic Wiggler Worm Ranch! -- This is simply an online form you
can use to send us questions or comments. All emails are typically answered
within 24-48 hours, unless research is required for us to accurately &
sufficiently help you. We only asked for your name & email address
& do not gather nor keep personal information, except for that which
pertains to orders we receive payment for and/or ship.
Our Manure, Fertilizer &
Worm castings Comparison In Water --
This is the test we mentioned earlier, which Magic Wiggler owner,
Larry Pelletier conducted himself. We were curious about the visible effects
of cow manure, 13-13-13 fertilizer & worm castings have when added to
water. We wanted to simulate what happens when any of these materials seep
into the water sources above & below ground when washed away by rain.
We conducted this test nearly one year ago & time has not helped the
manure nor the fertilizer. You have to see this page to understand why we
want the spraying of all raw manure wastes into open crops, fields &
pastures to be outlawed immediately. Once you read this page you will see
why even our own bodies are on chemical overload!
Magic Wiggler Worm Castings
Lab Test Results! -- This
page shows an exact copy of the lab results we received when we sent some
of our worm castings off to the state soil testing lab in Starkville, MS.
The samples were from dairy cow manure, which had been recycled by our
red wiggler worms for 6-9 months. Why spray raw manure in open fields &
pastures, which creates health risks to humans, animals & the surrounding
environment for miles, when worms can recycle it into top quality, nutrient
rich soil, naturally & efficiently? There is even picture proof that
our tomatoes love this stuff & produced tons of tomatoes all the way
to November 2003, right before our first freeze!
