Worm colonies are earthworms contained in a bio-degradable box. Instead of having to dig multiple holes to plant loose earthworms, all you need to do is simply dig one hole every 3 square metres, place the box in the hole, water, and cover with soil.
The key advantages of this product are:
- no need to handle the worms directly
- less effort due to fewer holes needing to be dug
- the worms are not suddenly introduced into a new environment
- as the box degrades the worms will move out at their own pace
Our worm colonies are ideal for both household gardens as well as large landscaping projects.
Each colony contains 25 of the large deep burrowing earthworms – Lumbricus terrestris and 150g of mixed (around 200) shallower soil dwelling earthworms. The container size is 15cm (6″) long x 10cm (4″) wide x 11.5cm (4.5″) deep, the box can be planted anyway up which means it will need a hole around 25cm (10″) deep to accommodate it.
If you require a different number of colonies than shown, please email support@wormsdirect.co.uk and we will be happy to give you a price.

The worms seemed to be fine. I did open one box to check that they were some there! They were happily congregated in a bunch at the bottom of the box under the compost.
I have followed the Planting instructions and hope that the new worms will help to reinvigorate my vegetable area.
A few days after burying the worms I planted some bulbs and saw some healthy worms in my soil, very happy with my purchase.
I planted them a few days ago and have already seen one today
