It’s easy! It’s inexpensive! It’s good for you and the world in which we live!Ĭomposting worms are the key to the process. Why put all your organic waste (as well as other waste like newspaper, cardboard, even the leaves we rake up in our yard) into a landfill causing more problems? By adding this same waste to a small container with composting worms, you will turn it into vermicompost, also known as “Black Gold."

This compost, known as vermicompost, replenishes the soil while increasing the quantity and the quality of topsoil.

The good news is composting worms can generate the highest quality compost there is faster than any other source. We are now learning that it can take multiple decades for that top soil to form naturally. In the United States alone, it is estimated that approximately 3 tons of topsoil per acre per year is lost. Without a healthy, nutrient rich topsoil, we cannot grow the high quality crops needed to supply our population with healthy food. Erosion is rapidly degrading our topsoil and robbing it of the neccessary minerals and nutrients our bodies need. Superworms must be dusted with calcium supplement powder before offering.The sad truth is the nutritional value of our food is in decline. Due to their higher fat content, avoid using superworms as a staple feeder. Superworms can be safely used as part of a rotation of feeder insects or as treats. Our small superworms are approximately 3/4" to 1" long each. We offer a pre-cupped option is great for hobbyists that want a convenient alternative to "boxed" or "bagged" feeders, and pet stores or resellers wanting a professional pre-packaged solution. This makes them suitable for use as occasional feeders or treats for reptiles, amphibians, and some arachnids. They're like mealworms but bigger and fatter. Superworms are the larval form of Zophobas morio, a type of darkling beetle. Superworms are high in fat and are considered more of a "treat." If your pet favors superworms over other bugs, try not offering any superworms for a week or two.
