WHY THIS WORKS (SCIENCE)
This isn’t just composting — it’s soil building in real time.
Below the surface:
Worms break down food waste into vermicompost (worm castings)
Microbes convert nutrients into plant-available forms
Fungi and bacteria build soil structure and resilience
Nutrients move directly into surrounding soil and plant roots
Instead of removing compost and spreading it later, this system feeds your soil continuously, exactly where it’s needed.
That means:
Better root growth
Improved water retention
More resilient plants
Healthier soil biology
WHERE TO USE IT
This is where it really shines:
Raised beds (highly recommended)
Greenhouses (ideal for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers)
Vegetable plots
Borders and ornamental beds
New-build gardens with poor soil
Install between plants and let roots grow towards the nutrients.
Simple setup:
Dig a hole and bury the unit so the lid sits just above soil level
Add moist bedding (coir, cardboard, or mulch)
Add your worms
Start feeding with chopped fruit and veg scraps
Cover with damp card or mulch
Close the lid
Then:
Feed little and often and let the worms do the work.
No smell (when used correctly)
No flies if waste is covered
No turning or heavy lifting
No compost heap required
Just steady, invisible soil improvement.
When food waste goes to landfill, it produces methane — a greenhouse gas around 25 times more potent than CO₂.
This system keeps everything aerobic.
That means:
No methane
More stable soil carbon
Better soil structure
Reduced need for bought compost and fertiliser
Every scrap you compost becomes part of your soil — not waste.
At Lower Blakemere Farm, everything we do is about closing the loop:
Food → soil → crops → life
This in-ground wormery does exactly the same in your garden.
Small action. Real impact.

Can I add Bokashi waste? Yes — it works extremely well

Chop waste small
Feed little and often
Add Bokashi to speed things up

Brilliant live worms and great service!
I ordered a batch of live composting worms for my new wormery, and they arrived in perfect condition — lively, healthy, and ready to get to work straight away. The packaging was eco-friendly, and the team even included a little guide on how to settle them in. My kitchen scraps are disappearing fast, and I’ve already started harvesting my first bit of worm compost. Couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic bokashi composting advice
As a complete beginner to bokashi composting, I really appreciated how helpful the team were. They answered all my questions quickly and gave me simple, clear instructions to get started. The bokashi bran is top quality and smells fresh and pleasant. After just a few weeks, I’ve turned my kitchen waste into brilliant compost-ready material with no odour or mess. Highly recommended!

Top-notch British birdseed mix
The British birdseed from Wigglys is superb. It attracts a lovely variety of garden birds — robins, finches, and even a pair of goldfinches have started visiting regularly. You can tell it’s a quality mix with no fillers or dust. Delivery was quick, and everything was packaged sustainably. It’s become my go-to source for bird feed!
It is early days but so far I am very pleased with this unit which we are using in a new raised bed. Very easy to put together and really simple to use. It does not take up much space and so far the worms are thriving. Unlike our existing 'standard' wormery, I am not concerned about this in-ground wormery being affected by icy weather which is a bonus.

I love them, and so do the compost worms I transferred from my original worm composting unit. We are all happier. I bought two worm farm units for my 12 meter polytunnel and moved my worms in as soon as the tunnel was constructed. They settled in immediately beginning work straight away. Never again will I struggle emptying those heavy trays of compost my worms will enjoy doing all that work for me. Wonderful!

“I’ve always been interested in farming, gardening and food, but Wiggly Wigglers has inspired me to take that interest much further and look at the whole thing in a much more holistic way. I love feeding the birds, making compost and keeping quail, and our Bokashi kit has genuinely revolutionised how we deal with food waste as a family. It’s helped us close so many loops at home – turning what we used to throw away into something useful. Once you start thinking like that, you see opportunities everywhere.” J O-B
