In with the worms....
into the compost that is.
1000 litre "Carboy" (plastic with the top cut off) 3/4 full of garden waste, waste kitchen greenery, soil and horse poo. No normal route of escape other than birds. 250 worms added about 10" from the top yesterday. (£7 delivered) Now lets see what results are produced in a months time.... Didn't have them last year and fairly good mulch/fertiliser was produced although it took 2 years from scratch so perhaps the voracious critters will munch more down for me to use end of this year on the veg patch. Not quite a "Wormery" but more like a Worm Playground. |

I do hope you have some way to drain off all the lovely liquid (fertilizer) that will be produced or it will get too wet for the worms. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

Has a built in half turn tap at the bottom so I have dug a small trench to allow a jug under to retrieve the liquid gold. We'll see what happens in a few days time |
