Hi everyone!
Does anyone have any experience of wormeries? I got myself one at the end of August for £10 through my local council and a couple of weeks later my worms seemed to have escaped!!! (probably to the compost bin...) I phoned the supplier and they sent me another bag of worms and sealing tape to make sure they didn't run away this time. I started off feeding them them a handful of fruit and veg peelings every couple of days, but it didn't look like they were eating it and they built up after a while. I went down to feeding them only once a week, but still they didn't seem to be very hungry.... (I started wondering if I was killing them by feeding them too much!! so I had a look inside the bin in search of the worms a couple of weeks ago and I could only see a couple... I know they slow down in the winter, but yesterday I had another look and couldn't see any!! I'm thinking of emptying in the wormery next weekend and have a proper search for them. I'm really confused... I did follow the instructions that I got with the pack!
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!
