Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Not sure where you can buy compost worms in Alabama? Many people have become interested in vermicomposting for a smaller environmental footprint. Others choose them because they can churn a backyard compost pile into nutrient-rich compost in no time.
No matter how you came to composting with red worms, you’ve moved from checking it out to wanting to get started. Of course, you could always purchase worms from our friends over at Meme’s Worms (clicking this link helps support the website, thanks in advance!). You can also find ways to get started for free or support a local worm seller in Alabama.
Let’s jump into today’s article about worms in Alabama without further ado.
Places to buy compost worms in Alabama
Reach out to local farms and gardens
One of the easiest ways to get started is to call some local farms and gardens in the area. Many of them have large compost piles located on-premise. There may be a chance that they are vermicomposting, selling red wigglers. Many greenhouses are finding secondary sources of income by selling compost worms or worm castings by the pound.
If they are not selling composting worms by the pound, ask if they notice many worms in their compost or aged cow manure. You can often negotiate to purchase a bucket of compost rich in worms. The downfall is that you may pick up some other hitchhikers that live in the compost.
Small online worm sellers
Another way to find worms in Alabama is to check eBay, Craigslist, and Etsy. Many people overlook these options, like places to purchase worms locally. These online selling platforms allow composting worm enthusiasts to have a side hustle. Sellers on eBay and Etsy have a list of reviews. I find that with eBay and Etsy, you’ll likely still have to ship from out of state. However, it’s always worth a look since you have the opportunity to read reviews and see what past customers have said.
Check Craigslist in your area:
- Auburn
- Birmingham
- Dothan
- Florence / Muscle Shoals
- Gadsden-Anniston
- Huntsville / Decatur
- Mobile
- Montgomery
- Tuscaloosa

Buy compost worms directly from seller’s website
Many people feel uncomfortable buying composting worms from a random person on the internet. Buying directly from the seller’s website is often best. Buying worms from their website means they don’t lose money to app fees incurred from selling on online marketplace sites.
