Lots of worms

The wormery has been in the shade for a few weeks and I've been watering it to keep the worms happy but not adding much to it. I had put the next layer in and today I thought I'd check to see if the worms had migrated up so that I could use the worm compost in the bottom layer. I took the insert out and there were still plenty of worms in the bottom layer so I checked the second layer to see if any of the worms had moved up as well. They had! So there are now lots of very fat, happy worms but on two layers so I can't get at the compost yet.

I must admit that it's very exciting. I'll add some more chopped up vegetable peelings and loo roll holders shortly to the top layer.

I'm now keen to see if the compost makes a difference to growing plants. It has to be good and of course, there's the 'juice' that comes from keeping the wormery well watered.
