Default Wormeries !

I am afraid that is my verdict after trying one for 1 year. The
minute quantities of stuff you get out are not worth it and mainly you
get dead worms and piles of rotting food.
These green cones and variations look simpler. In the meantime, I
will just continue to use my normal compost heaps but I am still
reluctant to put cooked food on them despite assurances from regular
compost experts here who probably do know whta they are taling about.


How large a volume of cooked stuff are you talking about though? It may
be time to start serving smaller portions or develop a taste for
leftover remakes like bubble n' squeak and rissoles.


We are quite good with leftovers in our house and I love potato cakes
etc.
No matter how hard you try though, you still always end up dumping
cooked food sooner or later. Whether it comes from tins, packets or
carcasses or potatoes that never made it to potato cakes, a regular
stream of it gets dumped.
We already scrupulously put all veg peelings in the compost heap.
