Wormeries
A wormery for your home. It couldn’t be simpler…
Whether you’re a fisherman, pet owner, gardener or you just want to do your bit for the environment (by preventing your kitchen scraps going to landfill) a home wormery could be for you.
The Worm Man builds bespoke wormeries, or can give advice on how you can build a great value solution of your own.
Worms will eat your kitchen scraps 3 times faster than they will decompose in a compost bin and turn them into precious castings. They are also great fun for the kids, who are generally fascinated by worms and really enjoy becoming involved in the process.
Kitchen Scraps
Worm composting is an efficient method of turning (most) kitchen waste and small amounts of garden waste into nutrient-rich compost and a concentrated liquid fertiliser.
Bespoke Wormery
A ‘worm bin’ or ‘wormery’ usually consists of at least two compartments; a lower collection sump for the liquid and an upper composting area where the kitchen waste goes in and the worms actively work. However, single compartment wormeries can be also used.
Dendrobaenas Worms
Dendrobaenas worms are fantastic composting worms. The worms used for composting are known by various names; brandling, manure, red or tiger worms. These include the species Eisenia foetida, E. andreii and Dendrabaena veneta. Composting worms live in decaying organic matter, whereas earthworms are soil dwellers. They are smaller and darker red than the common earthworm, perfect for using in worm composting.
Worm Casting
Nutrient rich, biologically active worm castings provide essential plant nutrients including iron.
Plant Strength & Growth
Nutrient rich, biologically active worm castings provide essential plant nutrients including iron. They also improve the structure of soil bedding promoting strength and growth with plants. Whether you have a window box or you’re a serious gardener, worm castings can work for you
