Wormery Update

Recently, I had a good look at the progress of the wormery and these are my findings:

The bottom tray is almost ready to be emptied in spite of the fact that there are still some worms present. These worms will I'm sure move on very soon to the upper tray.

When I take the material from the lower tray we will use it in the Centre's garden to enrich the soil. This compost is very rich and is excellent to help grow healthy fruit and vegetables.

The bottom tray is ready as I have said, but I am somewhat surprised that it has taken nine months to mature. Perhaps we need faster worms!

It is important to note that you cannot just throw any rubbish or scraps into the wormery. The worms are very fussy and they really only like to engage with the following:

Fruit, vegetable peelings, uncooked kitchen waste, coffee grounds and tea bags especially Earl Grey :)

They do not like fish and chips!

That's the latest update from me and the worms. Watch this space!
