I don’t sell Blue Worms – and also don’t ship internationally. But I bet you can find SOMEONE over in that general vicinity who is vermicomposting with them, even if you can’t find a specific supplier. Google is an amazing tool – just do a variety of searches. A basic “indonesia, vermicomposting” search led me to this link: http://www.indonesiaorganic.com/compost-your-waste/getting-started-with-vermicomposting-worm-composti

They may be able to help you find composting worms. Dig around – I guarantee there are others in that part of the world who are vermicomposting and who could potentially help you get some worms.

Good luck!
😎

I am 68 years old, partly walking impaired but still want to do something. I discovered the garden tower project 2 and like to start ih it in my community – in Indonesia, where I seee many chances to help improving peoples lives. However I am facings ome problem: nobody has worms to sell here, so that I was thinking of getting some “blue” one, because of their highter resistance to heat. I would suggest we send them to Singapore (friends address) because of far faster arrival, from there they could be picked up within a day from myself.
Could you kindly help me and letting we know how much 1 lb. would cost incl. US priority mail. Of course for this first transport I would take all the risk, even if they would all arrive dead, I would never complain – but better trying than doing nothing!

For your help in advance my sincere thanks
Michael schuette, / Batam (indonesia)
PS: this is not a comment but a cry for help!

Sorry for the delay. My recommendation is always to optimize for the worms you have, rather than just adding more. If they are not at the densities you would like to see it means optimal conditions haven’t been achieved. Are you mixing in moistened bedding materials as well? Is the bed fairly moist in general?

I have a large, 4′ x 8″ heated bin in a barn, so if I inadvertently introduced the blues, I would probably have to let it cool down (in Colorado high country that’s not hard to do!) to “take out” (as in “I took Cecil the lion”) the blues. The bin seems healthy, but has been neglected, and I think I underfed. There are worms, that appear healthy, but not the masses I would expect to see. I now have a new supply of aged horse manure, and a steady supply of coffee grounds, so want to up the activity. Would you suggest buying a new supply of worms, or let the present ones reproduce at their own speed? The vermicompost is wonderful, and though I intend to sell it, I put the first half of the bin on my own gardens – couldn’t resist.
