Hi Zoolanders

I am starting a worm composting bin in my apt. Does anyone have a handful of red wigglers to get it started. Please call Bob 829-0339.(Missoula)

I'm fairly sure they carry red wrigglers as a common fish bait. That would be the first place I'd look for them, now. If I'd known that when I vermicomposted I would have gone to the local bait shop instead of paying much more at a garden center.

You could check any stables or horse/llama/alpaca farms. They most likely have piles of manure with the little guys munching away.
 
Even monkeys fall from trees. I brought you an ice pack tiny ad.
