Wormery with worms!!
Wormery's and 100's
of worms!
What is the wormery? It's an easy, efficient system of converting ordinary kitchen food
waste into liquid feed and rich organic compost through the natural action of worms. How
does it work?The Wormery is divided into a number of chambers, in one of these live the
Tiger Worms (it's OK you don't have to touch them) busy converting waste into concentrated
liquid feed and Bio-rich organic compost. What can I put in? Ordinary kitchen waste such
as peelings, cooked and uncooked scraps, teabags, egg shells, paper kitchen towels, even
shredded newspaper etc. In fact virtually any organic kitchen waste. What do I get out? A
strong nutrient rich liquid feed which you dilute with water prior to use as an excellent
plant food for house plants, garden flowers, shrubs, vegetables or as a lawn feed, and a
rich organic compost. Why worms? Nature has provided us with the perfect waste disposal
unit in the worm, and Tiger Worms are simply the most efficient at dealing with organic
waste. They live their whole lives in the dark, moist atmosphere of the Wormery; eating
the waste material you put in and converting it into liquid feed and compost. The worms
are native to the UK and occur naturally outdoors wherever there is organic waste such as
an old compost heap. All we have done is harness their abilities more efficiently by
producing the ideal environment for them to work in. Does it smell? No, as the waste
material you put in starts to decompose it is consumed by the worms thereby effectively
eliminating the possibility of odour. Where should I keep the wormery? Indoors, outdoors.
wherever is most convenient for you. Most people keep it outside near the back door or in
the garden shed or garage. Equally you could keep it in the kitchen or utility room. How
long does it take? The Wormery is quick and efficient. Within about 8 weeks you'll be
tapping off liquid feed. A handful of waste takes 6-8 weeks to turn into compost. However
most people wait until the Wormery is nearly full before emptying the compost. As you are
adding food all the time it typically takes 9 - 12 months to have a bin mostly full of
rich organic compost. The Original Wormery will deal with the typical food waste of a
family of four -about 75% of what goes in comes out as liquid feed. Will I need more
worms? No, the worms will thrive in the Wormery; although, as they're sensitive to light,
you won't see much of them. The worms feed just below the top layer of food waste, so when
full, you simply trowel off the top few inches, empty out the compost replace the top
layer into the Wormery and off you go again. The whole process is natural and organic. By
using the Wormery you reduce the waste dumped in landfill sites, reduce the need for
chemical fertilisers and get the benefit of all that liquid feed and compost-free! Each
wormery is supplied with
Two sizes are available, Half size for one or two people
Full size for a family of 4 (or more)
