That is an old wives' tale. An old wive's tale that has found its way in to many books, then My apologies to the OP in that case: I'd still consider a wormery, though PS is it old wives' or old wive's? Does the v imply plural anyway? cf children's |

My apologies to the OP in that case: I'd still consider a wormery, though I have never used one, but some people swear by them. PS is it old wives' or old wive's? Does the v imply plural anyway? cf children's A damn good question. On second thought, I was wrong, but it is probably wives with no apostrophe! Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

On second thought, I was wrong, but it is probably wives with no apostrophe! On third thought - no, I was was right, and my last response was stupid. The plural is wives, and so it would be wives's, except for the rule dropping the last "s". Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

The huge advantage to many allotmenteers is that the wormery can sit outside the back kitchen door (or in the utility room in cold weather) whereas the compost heap might be a couple of miles away |

Yes, but we are talking of a HUGE reduction in volume and smelliness A 2-litre bottle of liquid manure and a carrier-bag full of worm-droppings (compost) every few weeks is no real problem. |

Whereas it would be ridiculous for someone like me, who has my heaps 70 yards away at the bottom of the garden. Using a wormery because you 'can't compost cooked food' is ridiculous - using one because it is a great convenience is entirely sensible. You pays your money and you takes your choice ....
