I bought worms from the general store by me. They sell them for fishermen. They have worked out great in our garden - they've multiplied nicely - and were only a couple bucks. If you have a place near you that sells worms, just get them there. (wal mart, gander mtn. Etc)

Your thread title reminded me of the red wiggler jingle that Les Nesman played on WKRP, so did a search. I realized that this was a more popular topic than I thought, so tried red wiggler Charlotte. This was at the top of the list. Red Wiggler Worm Vendors
You cannot use the worms that are sold as bait. They are vertical crawlers while red wrigglers are horizontal crawlers. At this point the only place to get them is know someone or buy them from an online retailer.

I mean this as a serious question: if they are strictly horizontal crawlers, how do they make their way through the soil? I have seen them crawl back into the ground as well as come up out of it.
"Where do I obtain Eisenia fetida earthworms for vermicomposting?
Do not buy worms for vermicomposting from a bait shop. You need at least 1,000 worms, and
bait shops only sell about a dozen worms per cup.**Instead, buy them by the pound (roughly
1,000 earthworms) from a worm grower.**Worm growers can be found on the Directory of
Vermiculture Resources by State in the U.S. and by Country: Worms, Supplies, and Information
at [url]http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/topic/vermicomposting/vermiculture/directory‐by‐state.html.**[/url]
Most worm growers will ship worms, so you don’t have to live near them.**You can also ask
your county Cooperative Extension office if they are aware of local worm growers."
