18 May 2009

The worms are doing well - well, they aren't looking for an exit route through the holes in the bottom of the container. I realise that I need to have two compost bins in the kitchen - wormery and compost - since the worms don't like onions or citrus and we use a lot of both.

I can't remember if they like bananas so I'm keeping them out. However, I now compost cardboard - loo rolls into the wormery in small pieces, and other card in the compost after a thorough wetting.

I hanker after a bigger wormery that is a little less Heath Robinson and a bit easier to take apart and put together. To extract the wormery 'juice', I have to hold the top bit and gently prise the bottom container off with my foot, while wiggling the top. Not difficult, just a little cumbersome.
