I had thought about having a compost bin but the whole of my rear garden in
paved so I don't have any soil to sit it on (I understand it needs to be
directly onto soil rather than paving slabs) so now I am thinking of a
wormery. I was wondering if anyone has experience with owning one and how
easy is it? I live on my own so don't produce tons of waste but I
understand that unlike a compost bin you can give worms cooked foods.

Also which wormery should I buy if I do decide to go down that route?

Thanks in advance.

We use the black bins supplied by the council and have them on a solid
brick base (stops rats getting in) because we put mainly kitchen waste in
them they are probably wetter than a compost heap should be but are full
of worms and work fine as wormeries. Apart from meat scraps which go in
the dog everything else goes in fine including all the unwanted mail!
If you can afford the space 2 small bins is better than one large as once
one is full you with to the other and can leave it untill the intire
contents are usable compost
