🪱 Product Description

The Wiggly SoilBuilder Wormery™ is your low-effort, high-reward solution to natural soil improvement. Developed with Plastia, this stylish in-ground compost system is installed directly into your raised bed or garden soil, where it gets straight to work building fertility from the inside out.

This complete kit includes:

• 250g of composting worms (Dendrobaena veneta and/or Eisenia andrei) – approx. 500–750 surface dwellers that break down food waste into nutrient-rich vermicompost.

• 50 deep-burrowing garden worms (Lumbricus terrestris) – powerful soil aerators that draw nutrients deep into your soil’s root zone.

Together, they create a living compost system that feeds the soil in a 30–60 cm radius, promoting healthier plant growth, better drainage, and improved water retention – all from your in-ground worm composter.

This isn’t just composting. It’s a step into permaculture worm farming. It’s about reducing kitchen waste, enriching soil biology, and reconnecting with natural systems.

🧠 Why It Works – The Worm Dream Team

🪱 Composting Worms (Dendrobaena veneta & Eisenia andrei)

• Surface feeders that thrive in the wormery and the topsoil layer of your bed.

• Break down organic matter into castings packed with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and beneficial microbes.

• Help build a natural soil improvement system that spreads gradually across the surface.

🪱 Garden Worms (Lumbricus terrestris)

• Deep burrowers that create permanent vertical tunnels for aeration and drainage.

• Transport decaying matter and nutrients downward – supporting root development and mycorrhizal fungi.

• Boost long-term fertility and structure in no dig compost systems.

Together, they mirror what happens in the healthiest ecosystems – a dynamic mix of vermicomposting and deep soil regeneration.

🌼 How to Use

1. Dig a hole in your raised bed, allotment, or vegetable patch and bury the wormery up to the lid.

2. Add your included worms – composting worms into the chamber and garden worms directly into the surrounding soil.

3. Feed it little and often – use plant-based kitchen waste like veg peelings, fruit scraps, tea bags, and coffee grounds.

4. Let the worms and microbes do the rest – no turning, no smell, no fuss.

💡 Wiggly Tips for Worm Composting Success

• Add a handful of shredded cardboard or paper now and then to balance moisture.

• Avoid feeding meat, dairy, or oily foods – your worms prefer a clean, plant-based menu.

• Position one Wiggly SoilBuilder™ per 1–2 square metres for full impact, or rotate seasonally.

• Boost microbial activity by adding a pinch of Bokashi Bran now and then.

• Keep the lid secure to maintain moisture and protect the worms from extreme weather and birds.
