Chalky soil can be light and free-draining, but it often struggles to retain moisture and nutrients, making it tough for many plants to flourish. Could worms be the answer to breathing new life into it? Without a doubt!

Worms are brilliant at improving soil health. With Our Wiggly Garden Worms, you can enhance the structure of your chalky soil, improving moisture retention and boosting fertility through their rich, natural castings.

Earthworms thrive on organic matter and are masters at spreading nutrients throughout different soil layers. Their castings not only feed plants but also help improve the soil’s ability to hold water — a real bonus for chalky conditions.

How to Add Worms to Chalky Soil:
To introduce worms successfully, dig plenty of small holes across the area you’re improving. Each hole should be about a spade’s depth. Place a handful of worms in each hole and gently refill with soil. It’s wise to mulch the area afterwards with compost or well-rotted manure to help keep moisture in and give the worms a rich food supply.

With time, your chalky soil will become less harsh, better able to retain water, and much more supportive for a wide range of plants.
