He uses recycled packaging, so when I saw the Post Office bags, I assumed it was packed that way originally.
I'm wondering now if the PO repackaged it, smothering the worms. If I find that to be the case, I'll amend my other post to reflect that.

Edited prior post.

Hello all, I have a 150 gallon bed filled with my Organic ingredients and today I receive about 3,000 red wigglers to place in the bed, what is the best way to do this? should I wet my soil, place/spread worms around and cover with my hay mulch until they travel below surface? any advice would be great for this large a bed and around 3 to 4000 worms.

Earthworms are rather resilient creatures!

When i order red wigglers they often come in barely wet peat moss wrapped in a damp newspaper. I make a shallow trench in the worm bin and place the peat moss or whatever bedding they use to ship worms in the trench and carefully make it level with the bedding, then place the damp newspaper on top.

I always go for fruit and veggies waste as they are organic and my worms just love them...
