Description
Lobworms are deep burrowing earthworms used as a natural soil improver. Their activity helps create nutrient rich ground by recycling organic matter and supporting balanced soil conditions in gardens and vegetable plots.
Lobworms soil improver for better ground structure
As lobworms move through the soil, they form vertical tunnels that improve air flow and water movement. This helps keep soil open and supports steady root development in planting areas.
Nutrient rich soil support from natural activity
By feeding on decaying organic material, lobworms contribute to the release of nutrients into the surrounding soil. This gradual process supports long term soil fertility in beds and borders.
Available lobworm quantities
Supplied in live worm packs of 25, 50 and 100 suitable for garden introduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to introduce lobworms?
They are typically added during mild weather when soil is moist, allowing them to settle and burrow more easily.
Do they survive in sandy soil?
They can live in lighter soils, though adding organic matter helps create a more supportive environment.
How quickly do they start improving soil?
Burrowing begins soon after introduction, with visible improvements developing gradually over time.
Can they be used in large planters?
They are best suited to open soil, though very large containers with deep compost can support them.
Do they need feeding after introduction?
Providing organic material such as mulch or compost on the surface helps maintain a suitable food source.
