Wormery recommendations anyone

[hazbaz]

Hi there I was wondering whether anyone could tell me if they think a wormery would work for us.

We tend to have lots of veg / fruit waste & only have a small garden with nothing that really needs trimming or pruning except some lavender. And the lawn of course. I think (but am happy to be corrected!! ) that it would not be a great mix for composting but might suit a wormery?

I have started growing veg & fruit this year & really enjoying it so thought would be a good idea. Anyone recommend somewhere they bought their wormery from please? TIA

I bought one from wiggly wigglers but I see they have stopped supplying them and now only do worms and accessories.

still, this article might be useful to get you started, and they are a very nice company to deal with.

The other option they offer is bokashi composting, I tried this but never really got on with it (and DH refused to read or listen to the instructions so kept doing it wrong).

I got three from freecycle last year. Worms can be bought on ebay.

Definitely go for a wormery in a small garden.

I have had a wormery for a few years.
We originally bought one for our son as a school project but ended up buying a bigger and better one for ourselves.

Take a look at www.wormcity.co.uk they are the best, as they are a decent size. Masses of information on their website to

I can definitely tell you that you can't put grass in one, but dead leaves, flower heads, paper, fruit and veg can all go in.

I tried bokashi and it got too expensive as you had to keep buying the bran, not to mention our house smelt like a chip shop the whole time.

We have one and it's great. Takes veg and fruit peelings etc plus tea bags and coffee filters. Doesn't get too full and makes lovely rich brown compost.

Thanks everyone - looks like I should give a wormery a try - I'll read those links too.

Another vote for wormcity, I had a grey bin type one for about 2 years. It was really difficult to empty as you had to lift the bin upside down to empty it, horrible job. I got covered in liquid, food, compost and worms YUK !

We were at the Malvern show earlier in the year, there was another company selling wormeries (can't remember their name) but they were tiny little things so make sure you check the size of it before you buy!

Bubblehouse Worms do wormeries, and were probably the ones at the Malvern show as they are just down the road
