My first wormery

Several years ago, my sister-in-law asked me for a wormery in response to my usual question after a visit to the States, "What can I get you to say thank you for having us stay with you?"

So my son and I looked for a wormery in many stores in northern Delaware and no one had one. We looked on the internet, looked at the cost of one and bought her something else.

The cost of wormeries has continued to be very high (£60 +) but the idea of nice worms eating the kitchen waste and producing a good liquid feed for my houseplants is very appealing. So...I asked my semi-retired and very practical husband to build me one for my birthday. He did and this is a record of how it goes.
