Wormery - Brighton & Hove

stiffen

hi, get a suitable container drill some holes in the bottom. get some wet shredded paper, leave to drain. get some red composting worms, you can find them anywhere (goggle it). put them in the container give them some food (mashed up) when they have settled down. i started out this way collecting 25 worms from some horse poo. now have 4 ex-large. get your hands dirty.

They are quite easy to make but how good the end product looks depends entirely on your DIY skills.

There are lots of them on ebay.

Also if you go here

and put in your post code you will see what offers are available with your local council. This site sells the Can O worms for approx £65 which although a lot of money, is cheaper than the price of any "commercial" site i have found.

i have read in the last day at least 5 people going to buy a wormery, i thought this site was moneysavingexpert. i started 3 years ago with one plastic container (drilled a series of holes) damp shredded office paper in the bottom, handful of worms that i got from a stable, mashed up kitchen waste, few sheets of damp newspaper on top. cost zero, carbon footprint zero.moneysavingexpert.:money:

Wiggly Wigglers are brilliant. Excellent service, and good price. I buy my Bokashi Bran from there too as its much cheaper than other places.

Hi Could anybody point me to the cheapist worm compost thingie, sorry don't know what it's called but want an enclosed one for food leftovers. Thanks

I got one from our local FREECYCLE for nowt - that's a good place to try.

Essentially it's a large bin with a close fitting lid and a grate in the bottom to allow the "wee" to drip down, also a tap at the bottom to drain off the liquid.

Worms and stuff are available on EBAY and plans on GOOGLE.

See clicky links above in "blue capitals"

I bought mine on ebay for about £20 and it works brilliantly, I am so pleased with it.

Just a note - you can't put leftovers of cooked food on a wormery. You can put vegetable peelings (not onion or much fruit - they don't like it), egg boxes, tissues, newspaper, egg shells, etc on - but never cooked food or meat.
