best wormery
 

I have a wroggly wrigglers wormery, you know, 3 or 4 circular trays
stacked on top of each other but quite awkward to get to the bottom one
if decanting.

Like to buy another now our local council is moving over to tinsy little
food bins which will not hold much by way of cooked stuff or leftwovers etc.

Anyone got any views about other types of bins or of the argument that
Tiger worms are best?
kay what does Edward think?

He says that he wouldn't spend money on worms. The ones from your compost heap are the same species, and will be better adapted to your individual garden conditions.

We've never had a wormery - any leftovers (we don't have many - mainly bones and fish skins) go on to the compost heap.

Yes, but why, when you could just scoop up a handful out of your compost heap?

If the conditions are right, they will breed rapidly; if not, they'll die, not matter how many you put in.

So why buy when you can get them for free?

I have used dendra worms (which I think is another name for Tiger Worms) -
which I originally bought from a fishing tackle shop.

I think they are fantastic - breed like anything and eat at a great rate.

I have used a basic wormery (The Original) - and have been very happy with it -
although obviously you have to sort the different layers by hand. I just keep
adding stuff to the wormery and then sort out the worms from their "produce"
and the as yet uneaten "worm food" - once a year. Not a big job.

I have been truly gobsmacked at how the worms have reproduced and the number
that I now have.

I would add that I have used a piece of old sheet as the first layer between
the worm juice sump and the rest of the wormery - it stops the worms from
dropping through and drowning
