Small amounts every few days work best. Monitor the food levels and adjust frequency to avoid overfeeding and ensure healthy decomposition.
Yes, it can be kept in kitchens, utility rooms, or sheds, provided temperatures remain stable and within the worms' preferred range (ideally 15-25°C). Avoid direct sunlight.
Drain the liquid via the tap. Dilute one part worm tea to ten parts water, and use it as a nutrient feed for plants. It's best used within a few hours of dilution.
To protect worms from freezing, move the wormery to a shed, greenhouse, or garage. Reduce feeding frequency slightly during colder months.
No, when balanced correctly, they have a mild, earthy smell similar to healthy garden soil. Unpleasant odors usually indicate an issue like overfeeding or an imbalanced diet.
Around 250g–500g of composting worms (like red wigglers) is generally enough for a small household wormery. They will reproduce naturally over time.
A worm blanket helps maintain the optimal conditions worms prefer: it holds moisture, supports stable temperatures, and creates a dark, humid layer where worms feel safe to feed and breed near the surface, keeping them active and working efficiently.
This usually indicates an imbalance. Avoid adding meat, dairy, or oily foods. Ensure good aeration and add more 'brown' material like shredded cardboard or dry leaves if it seems too wet. Avoid overfeeding.
Check moisture levels (should be damp, not soaking wet) and temperature (not too hot or cold). Ensure the worm blanket is in place and the environment is dark. Reduce feeding if there's too much uneaten food.
The wormery may be too dry, or there might not be enough moisture-rich food waste. Add some damp food scraps or a small amount of water. Ensure the tap is open and not blocked.
Ensure the temperature is within the optimal range (15-25°C). Check that you have an adequate population of worms and that they are being fed regularly but not excessively. Introduce new worms if the population seems too small.
Add dry bedding material like shredded newspaper or cardboard to absorb excess moisture. Ensure good airflow and avoid overwatering.
