What is Living Material?
“Living Material” refers to a biologically active composting culture, containing the essential components needed for successful vermicomposting:
- Composting Worms: Red Wiggler species (Eisenia andrei, Eisenia fetida) that process organic waste into natural fertilizer.
- Bedding Material: Moist compost and organic matter providing structure and hydration.
- Microbial Life: Beneficial bacteria and fungi that accelerate decomposition.
- Nutrient Source: Small amounts of food to sustain worms during transit.
This product represents a composting ecosystem, not the sale or shipment of live animals.
