Long time no see guys! Hope everything is well. I Finally scored some worm castings from the local farmers market for $12.99! Wanted to ask if red wigglers are okay instead of earthworms, thanks!!

Worm poop is worm poop, it does not matter what kind of worms it is from.

Red wrigglers are the common name of some species of earthworms. This is just branding to make them sound better.

That's what I was going to say. This is just marketing.
