Help! - Urgently need to redesign my wormery! I got around to harvesting my first lot of compost this w/e and found that the bottom of my bin - is unsatisfactory! I thought I had no worms left, but they were nearly all in the sump! They seemed to be fine (I read yesterday that Tiger worms are quite ...

Hmmm....if your leftovers are going down, then it sounds like my worms really have gone AWOL!!
Think I'll go and check

Hi Chantal and Plumpudding - have you done your spring clean and what does it entail please? I haven't seen any activity since back end of last year, so am wondering what to expect in there - I stopped feeding around Christmas, as the food was being eaten so minimally and I didn't want it to back up...

I've been using a piece of old carpet, which I just cut to size, although it seems rather pointless at the mo, as the only visible life form is still the (aforementioned) 'nematodes'! Although I notice that in the bunch of wilted coriander leaves I rather lazily dumped without chopping the other day...

Oh dear - thankyou GIB for alerting me to what the LWJ's might be! Anyway I got straight on to checking this out, but it might have been more useful if I hadn't been quite so flippant in my description ...it seems that in fact they are a type of nematode, a friendly type that shows that my worm hous...

Hi I thought it was about time I gave some feedback on my new wormery - well it's not new now, my babies are now 8months old, and they are doing just grand! At first I was worried I wasn't do it right, I remember I wrote about them escaping alot! Well now I know that they were hungry, and so I just ...

Hi Everyone, just a quick Q from me as I've not got time to be on here lately - does anyone why I have ants inside my wormery? As you know from my posts, my family is only 2 weeks old, and we have seen babies today, but also ants - is this normal or should I kick them out?!

Thanks

Thanks for your helpful comments - however, this morning I found 2 'escapees' one on the outside of the lid and one on nearby soil! I looked in this evening and about half a dozen are attempting another gettaway by climbing up the sides aiming for the lid! I think the holes we made may be too big, a...

I've just taken delivery of my new family of dendrobaenas, I got them from Scottish Worms in Kirkudbright, and they have now been in residence for 3 days! I could only count about 120 of them but they do seem to diguise themselves don't they?! I just want to know at this early stage - how much do I ...

Hi I've just found this site - I was looking up stuff about making a wormery - and now I've got questions about everything! We only have a postage stamp of a garden, but now that my kids are older I'd like to make more of it. So I'm off now to write on the 'wormery anyone?' thread and see what I can...
