Anyone have a source for red wigglers (composting worms) in Knox county or Central Maine?
Online I've found a guy in Scarborough, and Brunswick, but I was hoping a little closer.

I tried calling mofga today twice and both times there was no answer. Also tried my local Agway and they had no idea.

I'm no expert, but was surprised to learn that some worms can be invasive. I participate in a USDA program that has biologists and botanist observe my forest plan and make suggestions as well as use it for study and training. One negative was the spread of Pennsylvania Sedge, a grassy plant not eaten by any of the critters around here. It propagates readily after earthworms have migrated from a nearby farm field. Where this stuff is growing it looks pretty,but its tough to get any tree propagation and nothing else grows because of the salinity.

I know these red worms are a different species, but could the potential of a non native species be a threat?
