Worm compost contains:
bacteria

These interact with plant roots to improve growth and resilience.
Darwin called worms:
“It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world.”
Getting Started: 1️⃣ Rehydrate the coir bedding. 2️⃣ Add your 500 g worms (or redeem voucher). 3️⃣ Cover with the moisture mat and lid. 4️⃣ Let them settle 2–3 days before feeding. 5️⃣ Feed small amounts regularly – they’ll speed up as they multiply.
What They Love: Fruit & veg scraps, banana skins, apple cores, tea bags (plastic-free), coffee grounds, crushed eggshells, paper & cardboard. Avoid: Too much citrus, onion or garlic; meat, fish or dairy unless pre-Bokashied; oily foods in bulk.
Maintenance Tips:
Keep moist (not wet). Mist lightly if dry.
Add Lime Mix fortnightly to balance pH.
Sprinkle Worm Treat monthly to absorb excess moisture.
Fluff compost for airflow and drain liquid weekly.
Harvest compost every 6–8 weeks – it’s ready when dark, crumbly and earthy.
Temperature & Placement: 15–25 °C is ideal. Keep indoors or sheltered; avoid direct sun or frost. Use Extra-Thick Moisture Mat in winter.
Educational & Community Use: Schools use this kit to teach biology and eco-literacy – children love seeing waste turn to soil. Workplaces use them for staff engagement and zero-waste credentials.
Wiggly Tips:
Dilute worm leachate 1 : 10 for houseplants and ornamentals.
Brew aerated worm tea from finished compost for vegetables – a living microbial tonic.

🌱 From Dirt to Living Soil
We’re regenerating our farm from the roots up. Every order you place helps bring back healthy soil, thriving wildlife, and renewed hope.
Worms migrate upwards through the holes to fresh food
Finished compost is left behind below
👉 No digging, no sorting worms — just lift and harvest
More Surface Area = Better Composting
Worms work at the surface.
This system:
spreads food out
improves airflow
keeps conditions aerobic
👉 Faster, cleaner composting
Continuous Flow = Continuous Compost
As worms move up:
compost builds below
you harvest without disturbing them
Add extra trays to increase capacity and keep going.
💚 Wiggly Tip: Surface area matters more than depth — trays make worms more efficient.
Your Composting Crew
Eisenia fetida (Tiger Worms)
Dendrobaena veneta
Surface-feeding worms that thrive in organic waste.
They eat up to half their body weight daily and multiply quickly.
Deep-burrowing earthworms don’t work in this system — that’s why Wiggly worms are the right ones.
What Can You Feed Them?

I am 86 and look forward to some good compost from the wiggly worms
I am 86 and look forward to some good compost from the wiggly worms.But I am lacking confidence and probably worry too much too soon. The worms are climbing up through their blanket which makes me anxious that I or they are doing something wrong.

An excellent starter wormery for singles or a couple.
This was a present for my sister. She is delighted and when I visited the worms had settled in and were active. She was very happy not to be throwing away after moving house and leaving her garden.

“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
