Today I was thinking about getting a wormery for the garden, does anyone know anything about them? in particular if you can put dogs muck in them? do they require much effort to maintain? Any info would be great, thanks :-)

Hi Clair

I had a wormery, and whilst it was fairly easy to keep you do have to drain off the liquid regularly or you drown the little beasties. You do literally end up with pints and pints of "worm wee" which the garden will love.

It works rather like a live compost heap, and no you can't put dogs muck in, only out veggtable matter.

Oh yeah and you need to keep it in a fairly neutral place - not too hot or too cold.

S'pose I ought to reactivate mine with some new worms.

well if anyone wants some nice healthy devon worms to start their wormery off, let me know as I have thousands! My muck heap hasnt been removed for 18 months & in every forkful there are hundreds of wonderful worms making compost. Help yourself, theyre free!

:) LOL thanks for that, I read somewhere that "worm wee" was like black gold to gardeners :D still might to the lawn a bit of good after the dogs have finished with it. Sam next time I'm in Devon I'll bring a large jam jar with me :D

Strange my Husband has just started a wormery, have never know him so interested in where the kitchen waste goes. No dog or cat stools are allowed but egg shells sent him into transports of delight. Easy to please these men.

Little things please..........

:)

I think I'm going to get one, they sound delightful one last question though, can you put things like grass clippings and hedge trimmings in them or is it just kitchen waste?
