Our Story
Discover Our Journey So Far
The seeds of ‘Wiggle and Waste’ were sown from a simple yet profound realization. As I noticed the amount of produce rotting away and being discarded from my home, a spark of inspiration led me to explore the world of vermiculture. Introducing worms into this cycle transformed my waste into valuable worm castings, igniting a passion for soil health and the magic of recycling nature. This blog encapsulates our journey deep into the fascinating world of soil ecosystems and miniature natural habitats. It all began with an exploration into the educational aspects of worms and isopods – the unsung heroes of soil health and ecosystem balance.
Through our posts, we delve into the intricate roles these creatures play in maintaining healthy soil, crucial for sustainable environments. We’ve extended our passion to creating and nurturing mini worlds, like terrariums, that not only demonstrate the beauty of nature but also teach vital lessons in ecological stewardship. Each entry in our blog is a step forward in our mission to foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of nature’s delicate systems,
