$10  bucks is a lot to pay for something you can encourage the worms to
produce in your garden.  On top of that, worms in your garden mechanically
till your soil.  Worms will inhabit agressively any good soil which has
organic material in it.  They will inhabit and assist in the composting
process, whether in a bin or in the soil.  They will do well in a "worm
box" quickly dispatching all the kitchen scraps you care to throw their
way.  

IMO, buying worm castings is a waste of money.  

Sorry.
