Wormery Advice Please

[veggiechicken]

I'm just naturally averse to paying for something that I can lash up for myself! Not an elegant solution but if it was, it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the chaos I call my garden! Hope someone designs something fit for purpose as you can't be the only one who wants this.

I've always had a full sized watering can under my Can o Worms, no difficulties at all although you do have to tilt it very slightly when removing which isn't a problem. No idea which brand of watering can it is but it's a metal one which I think came from B&Q / Homebase several years ago.

Hi
I just thought I would add my two pennyworth to the discussion.

Please take a look at the volume of the wormery that you have linked to.
The worm hut and the tiger wormery are both made by the same company so are the same size

each tray is just under 16 litres, so for a 4 tray wormery, the composting area is only 64 litres (each tray is 11cms high)

This is NOT big enough for a normal family.

If you take another look at ebay you will see that there are bigger stacking wormeries (4 trays at 100 litre total volume) at around the same price that are actually made in England ................

Thank you, just had a look and found yours, any chance of a discount

I think the Can o Worms is higher than the one I have. Mine's only a 6 and a bit inches off the ground, so a full size watering can just doesn't fit.

I did see a small one thought the other day so now I know the height, I'll measure it and if it fits, get it.

I am usually happy to lash things together, but as it's in our courtyard, things can get knocked about when we wander round and having worm wee spilt over the floor just isn't good, and we want it to look nice as well.

Can you put the wormery on a slab or something to raise the height enough for your watering can. Mine's up on blocks to make my life easier.

Thank you, I was thinking about a 4 tray one in green with worms, what I would like to know is how long will the discount code be valid for as I'm not sure now would be a good time to start a wormery going.

Hi
When you are ready to order let me know, and I will give you a code to use, just PM me.

It doesn't really matter when you start up a wormery, although worms do go a bit slow in winter, all the other beasties that are in the wormery carry on doing their job.

By beasties I mean bacteria, moulds etc.

Always remember that a wormery is a little ecosystem, and this does take time to evolve.
The food needs to break down before the worms can consume it, so although you may imagine winter is a bad time to start a wormery it isn't.
Because by the time spring comes (which seems so far away at the moment) your wormery will be florishing.

Ronnie you need to set the PM option in setting as we can't send PMs to you I tried earlier.
