Earthworms are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning worms have both male and female reproductive organs. If all goes well, the eggs of both of the mates become fertilized. You can imagine this is a highly efficient way of ensuring the survival of the species. Vermicomposters, people who raise worms and other organisms to compost, report that their earthworm populations typically double every 60 to 90 days [source: Werner].

All you would need is a handful of worms, place in a proper container and check back in a few days. You will most like find some that are mating.
