Red Wigglers worms (EF) for Organic Gardening, Composting or bird food.ReviewsI very much appreciated the emails telling me when to expect the worms since the weather is hot. They are doing great! I gave these to my grandma for her birthday for her garden. The package came and I checked to see if they came alive all of them were alive and there were so many. We put them in her garden and we check on them every week and they are still there. They came on time alive and still doing well. Highly recommend worms. And they have us lots of information about worms. I ordered these worms during a bad heat spell, upper 90's every day. I was afraid that they may not survive the trip and they didn't, even though they arrived quickly. I contacted the seller and let them know about the condition of the order. They immediately responded and promised to reship or refund. I chose to try reshipping. The replacement order of worms survived the heat and all of them were alive and well. The customer service was very fast and friendly. The worms were healthy and in great shape. I couldn't have hoped or asked for better service. When I received an email from "vermipostpro" explaining when to expect my worms they shipped I knew I was dealing with a good company. Worms arrived 2-3 days after receiving email in perfect condition. We (wife and I) followed their suggestions on handling new worms and they are now eating compostable goods! Looking forward to sending less stuff to the recyclers. The first shipment of worms took a little longer than expected and, when it arrived, they were mostly dead. The business made a lot of effort to make sure that I got a good batch of worms and I am very pleased with the second box sent! Average Rating:![]() |

Price is per pound of red wigglers. Our red wigglers are home grown in bins and compost heaps on our property. They winter well and reproduce rapidly. Your worm population should double every 90-days or so, given enough food and moisture... |

Monterey Sluggo Snail & Slug Control For Organic Gardening - 2.5 lb Shaker Bottle LG6500ReviewsWorks great. Sprinkled on the ground where ever I saw snails and watched their numbers shrink day by day. It was about 3 days before I couldn't find any. Also, for any pet owners considering purchasing Sluggo, I can confirm it is pet safe. Our four month old Corgi puppy eats everything in the yard, and I mean everything. Even though Sluggo is pet safe, I still did my best to keep him away from it, but I know he did sneak over and eat some and it didn't seem to bother him at all. OMG! My garden was FULL of slugs. We tried the "beer" method, but this did not work. Decided to try Sluggo. Sprinkled it everywhere in my garden, and haven't seen a slug since! I highly recommend this product! I had tried trays of beer, physical barriers, and manually picking the slugs off the plants to keep the slugs out of the garden, all to no avail. I sprinkled this stuff over the entire area, and in a couple days... there are no more slugs on the plants, and TONS of dead slugs around the edges of the garden. Great stuff! Now maybe I will actually get some peppers this year. I received this product but haven't had a chance to use it. I did receive it in a timely manner and in good condition. I purchased this product after taking an organic gardening course. If I could talk to insects, I would try to garner a peace agreement ... to coexist without interference. Since I can't do that, I've decided to judiciously use environmentally friendly methods of pest control. This product was mentioned during the course and I hope that it will work. So far, it seems to be doing well. I also tried beer traps (beer in tuna cans) and those worked surprisingly well. So, I would recommend this product and if you use beer traps, too, your slug problems will decrease significantly. Average Rating:![]() |

AeroGarden 9419-00Z 9419-00Z Replacement Grow Sponges for Garden Starter TrayReviewsFinally, a replacement grow sponge that works. These sponges come in packs of 70, and are exactly the right size for replacing those highly overpriced seed pods for my AeroGarden 6 Elite. And as a bonus, the seller threw in a free package of those all so important nute tabs! Don't throw away your used seed pods; simply recycle the little plastic cone-shaped baskets by inserting a new grow sponge. Tuck your own seed into the little "dimple" at the top of the sponge, push it into the plastic cone and you're good to go. For clones, split the sponge halfway down with a razor and tuck the bottom of your shoot securely into the sponge before pushing it into your cone. Proceed as you normally would for growing stuff in your AeroGarden 6 Elite. For some reason the AeroGarden catalog only sells the short fat replacement sponges that go with their older model gardens, such as AeroGarden 7. (AeroGarden is a fabulous product, but they charge nearly TWENTY DOLLARS (!) for six seed pods??---Please!) Work great for their purpose, but you can make it yourself. You could get the same thing by just cutting up some sponges and it is essentially the same thing. I haven't tried that though. And you would not want to use commercial sponges if you are going to eat the plants. I'm sure these are good for their intended use, but they don't seem to fully fill the used pods like some people said. Like other reviewers I am just going to cut the lower part off and use them. I'm a little unsure how to rate this item since I am no using it for the intended purpose. I have included a picture. Product worked great with my AeroGarden it was a little cheaper getting it from Amazon than the AeroGarden website. I would recommend it. I have 3 7-pod aerogardens and wanted these to start 'clippings' from my herb plants. These sponges arrived in good shape and in great time, however, they are longer than the plastic 'pod casing' as well as thinner. I place the plastic pod in the garden, add the grow sponge and it tips over to one side while sticking up from the floor of the garden almost 3/4". (So, I thought if I wet them first they might expand to fit the plastic pod casing correctly, but that didn't do anything other than make a wet, soppy mess). I had to cut it with scissors and use the cut piece to cut even more and fit around the pod casing to steady it upright. Had to be careful, also, so the smaller 'stuffing' pieces don't fall through the plastic pod openings into the water below. The small indentation in the top center for placement of seeds/clippings is almost a waste of time: had to slit that deeper also just to accommodate a few seeds. I didn't dare attempt an actual 'clipping' because it would never fit without breaking the stem. What a mess. Had they been cheaper, I would trash them. And with this extra work and mess, they should be less expensive! Three stars mostly for Amazon's prompt delivery, but as far as the product is concerned, maybe 1/2 star. Average Rating:![]() |
