Just ask for red wigglers at the bait store if you plan to be small scale. If you want to go larger scale you can order them online by the pound.

Well interesting, I just did some reading and I did not know those red worms can not be realesed into your yard or vegy garden.... They are distructive in that setting, so you have to use this soil for house plants? I think I'd rather have earthworms then, but they say they do not work as well.

Sounds like a misleading site. Redworms are not destructive in the yard. They are very beneficial. If you have enough organic material in a spot in your yard to support them they can and sometimes do come on their own.

Red worms are top feeders, the live and eat in the top 6-8 inches of soil. so I wonder if that article was worried about disturbing root mass within this range?
