Help me fall back in love with my wormery

[sushistar]

My worms are a year and a bit old. I had ds in December, and since November I havn't touched my worm bin - I didn't fancy it at 8 months pregnant and now I just havn't started yet.

I peeked yesterday and there are still worms there, but real tiddlers. How do I go about revamping the whole wormery?

Also, I sort of fell out of love with it becuase I found harvesting the compost hard because I felt guilty if I didn't resue evrey worm and return him to the bin before I used the compost in the garden, as I know that kind of worm can't live in garden soil. And I'm not even a buddhist!

So help me fall back in love with it?

put them back in the earth, worms aren't meant to be kept in wormerys are they..

set them free

Noooo, THIS kind of worm - tiger worms I think they're called - can only live in decaying vegetable matter, NOT soil. So I'd commit WORM GENOCIDE!!!

No, I want to keep them and feed them apple cores. But I don't want to have to deal with the wormy gunk afterwards.

I love this thread's title

do you like worms then

No, not really. I don't like touching them. But somehow killing them is even worse.

I want to be green and recycle our uneaten food into compost. But I don't like worms. Or wormy compost.

This eco-friendly lark's a bit complex if you have compassion for EVERY SODDING WORM in your wormery...

who, me? no! But I really liked the title

Oh, sorry, I thought you were asking me!

worms are nice creatures

I know! They make compost! I don't want mine to die!

But they wriggle. And I don't want to sift through 2 kg of compost removing 1328 worms.

My compost is sometimes more worm than compost, iyswim.

Poor little things.

sushistar, sorry I don't have much advice

Oh just bin it and buy a goldfish

i am rofl

at shiny - BIN the WORMS? you cruel woman. They would suffocate in a bin bag.

You all think this is a joke.

I am deadly serious.

I have worm ishoos and no one can help me. I just want to be green!

why don't you re-home them?

Well, as the song says, it's not easy being green...

Break the wormery up and bury the contents. You are then, very greenly redistributing the worms back into the earth whence (sp??! I don't do Sps!!!) they came. [puke]

Then buy a gold fish.

sushistar. you hvaen't fed them since november? they are eating EACH OTHER.

Hmm, I'll post in the ffp section -

Millions of tiny worms that make crap compost, free to a good home.

D'you reckon I'll b overrun with offers?

Plus, how will I make my apple cores into compost without the worms?

AAARGGG fishie now I feel REALLY GUILTY!! Oh, poor things, forced to cannibalism because of their negligent owner...

please don't call the rspca, I'm ready to turn myself in! I'm gonna be on that animal rescue programme!

chuck them all on flower bed and turn your attentions to okashi bin.
