Cheap worms in Auckland, NZ?

[Blair Firmston]

Hi all,

 

does anyone know of any cheap worms in Auckland (central)? I have seen some advertised for anywhere between $30-46 but as I am making my worm farm (so far it has set me back all of $25) I was trying to do it for as little as possible. Thought someone might have some spare that I could trade some summer produce for.

 

Cheers,

Hi Blair - make sure they are the "right" worms (and I'm not sure what they are off the top of my head!)

Thanks Jacqui. Tigers are what I need. Wow that was quick. Cheers

Hello Blair, am happy to raid my worm bin if you don't get any offers closer to home. However, by the time you pay the courier fee, it might be cheaper to by them locally (I'm in Queenstown).  Let me know how you get along.

Thanks Megan, I'll let you know how I go. I am sure there will be some around here, probably just down the road.

Earl, I got some of the Oooby Waste Away Group (Lynn) so I won't need any more. Thanks for your help though. B

.Do you have some compost worms that I could buy from you?
I live in Panmure.

A bit late to this discussion, but if you know someone with a compost pile, then you know someone with worms. They are easy to spot, they're called Tiger worms for their stripes, and easy to catch !

A good spade full of compost from near the bottom of the pile will contain enough worms to get you started. They breed fairly quickly provided there is a good supply of food.

There is a great quick description of the life cycle etc here- http://www.earthlydelight.co.nz/info-fascinating.htm

Well worth a quick look.
