Live Composting Worm Eggs & Cocoons - Mixed Tiger/Dendra Starter Culture in Soil
£14.99
The Ultimate Dual-Action Composting Starter!
Why settle for one species when you can have a complete ecosystem? This is a highly active starter culture harvested directly from our thriving organic composting beds. Unlike "clean" worms, these are sent in their original Rich Worm Castings (Black Gold), ensuring zero shipping shock and a healthy, immediate start in their new home.
The "Power Duo" Inside Your Bag:
- Tiger Worms (Eisenia fetida): The surface-dwelling specialists. These are the "engines" of the compost heap, famous for their orange stripes and their ability to process kitchen waste at high speeds.
- Dendrobaena (Dendras): The deep-divers. Larger and hardier, these worms burrow deeper, aerating the compost and ensuring oxygen reaches the roots of your plants.
- Active Cocoons (Worm Eggs): Each bag is packed with tiny, lemon-shaped cocoons. These will hatch shortly after arrival, providing a "second wave" of young, healthy worms that are perfectly adapted to your bin from birth.
Why This "Mixed Culture" is Better:
- Complete Coverage: Tigers eat the top layer; Dendras work the bottom. This prevents your compost from becoming compacted or anaerobic (smelly!).
- British Weather Hardy: Both species are native or well-adapted to the UK climate, thriving in everything from garden heaps to indoor wormeries.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: We use breathable, secure packaging to ensure your worms arrive in peak condition.
Perfect For:
- Wormeries: UrbaLive, Hungry Bin, Subpod, and DIY systems.
- Allotments: Supercharging your soil health and drainage.
- Fishing: Dendras make excellent, lively bait!
Postage & Delivery:
To protect our "livestock," we only post via [e.g., Royal Mail 24/Tracked 48]. This ensures your worms aren't left in a sorting office over the weekend.
Instructions: Upon arrival, simply empty the entire bag—soil, worms, and eggs—directly onto your moist bedding or compost pile. Nature will do the rest!
