Adding earthworms to your garden is a brilliant way to boost soil health, but timing is key! Your worms will need to be settled into the soil within 48 hours of their arrival—so be ready when they come wriggling in! (👉 Order your garden worms here)
Here’s how to give your worms the perfect start in your garden:
- Dig It: Every square metre, dig a hole about the depth of a trowel.
- Prepare the Spot: Add a splash of water and a handful of compost to make the area extra inviting.
- Add Your Worms: Place 5–8 garden or composting worms into each hole, giving them just the right amount of space to work their magic.
- Cover Up: Gently cover the worms with soil to keep them cosy and safe.
Pro tip: Worm casts from your wormery make an excellent filler for these holes, giving your soil an extra nutrient boost! 🌱
Help Your Worms Settle In 🏡
For worms to thrive, try to adopt a “no-dig” approach in the garden, as they aren’t fans of too much disruption. Also, avoid sprays and chemicals; these can harm your worms and undo their hard work.
🌟 Why Add Worms to Your Garden?
Garden worms are nature’s best little soil aerators, turning compacted dirt into rich, crumbly soil full of nutrients. Their burrowing creates channels for air and water, helping plants grow stronger roots. And they’re especially helpful in:
- Clay soils – breaking up compacted soil and improving drainage
- Sandy soils – adding organic matter to help retain moisture
- Garden beds – enriching the topsoil for better plant health
Whether you’re growing veggies, flowers, or just lush, green lawns, adding worms is like giving your soil a spa treatment. Your garden will love it, and the worms will love their new home! 🐛💚
