Composting is the best way to deal with organic waste, as it returns valuable organic matter to the soil in the form of easy to handle compost. Efficient composting is essential especially now that rubbish bins are being emptied less (often left for 2 weeks). Home composting can be broken down into 2 main areas :- Kitchen waste i.e. veg peelings, left over cooked food,tea leaves, coffee grinds & stale bread, dust from your vacuum cleaner and packaging waste such as cardboard. Garden waste i.e. lawn clippings, weeds, leaves, hedge trimmings etc. Click Here to visit our easy to use composting table. Why use worms? Worms have evolved over millions of years into fast and efficient natural composters. Each worm eats and digests up to half its own body weight in waste every day greatly reducing its volume. As a result the worms produce high quality compost (known to gardeners as "black gold") and conc. liquid feed. Wormeries turn kitchen waste into FREE compost and liquid feed!!!!! Wormeries turn kitchen waste into FREE compost and liquid feed!!!!! Is it really worth it? Thousands of British households already compost with worms, but the UK is a long way behind many other countries. The Americans have taken to it in a big way, the Dutch already compost 12 times as much waste as us and the Australians have 4% of their population worm composting already. I already have a compost heap; do I also need a wormery? Yes, compost heaps are great for large volumes of garden waste, but not kitchen waste which attracts flies and vermin. Our wormeries are neat enough to use indoors and they are so efficient there are NO NASTY ODOURS. However, why not give your compost heap a boost and add worms to it with our compost kit. Are these worms different from garden worms? Yes, composting worms are different from garden worms. If you need to increase the number of worms in your garden (i.e. in a new garden) then use our garden kit. All the worms we supply are naturally occurring native British worms. What can be composted and how much waste can they take? Worms can compost virtually any organic kitchen waste including vegetable peelings, tea leaves, coffee grounds, stale bread & hoover dust etc. Our kits are designed to handle the waste produced by the average family of four, turning it into a FREE regular supply of top quality compost and liquid feed. "Dear John, Many thanks for the wormery I received it today - the worms seem very happy. I was impressed by your products and will recommend them to my friends." Regards Geoff "Thanks ever so much for your excellent advice - I am delighted with the wormery - there are loads of worms in there and they are absolutely thriving. What a great and rewarding hobby. I even drain liquid from the tap at least every other day. " Best wishes David "Dear team, I thought you might be interested to know about some sun flowers I grew this year for my grand children. They were grown with compost from the wormery which I purchased from you, and fed throughout the summer with fertilizer from the base of the wormery. The fertilizer also fed my tomatoes, courgettes and flowers. The grandchildren were amazed by the size of the sunflowers and vegetables, and I was pretty chuffed too. The wormery was a great buy and my partner's son also received one as a present from his partner. "Alan Cross NEW - The Worm Works - This layered wormery is designed to grow as your family grows.
