Using a Wormery is a fantastic natural method to dispose food waste. The Tiger worms are highly efficient at dealing with organic waste. These worms are native to the UK and are use to the moist atmosphere of Wormeries. The worms eat the waste material you put in and convert it into liquid feed and compost.
What is a Wormery?
A Wormery is a highly effective unit that converts ordinary kitchen food waste (and other organic matter) into a useful liquid feed and rich organic compost, all through the natural action of the tiger worms that live inside.
How do Wormeries work?
A Wormery is typically divided up into a number of chambers. In one of these live the Tiger Worms (it's OK, you don't have to touch them - you probably won't even see much of them!). All you do is drop your daily kitchen waste into the bin and forget it. The worms feed on the food waste and convert it into concentrated liquid feed and Bio-rich organic compost. Wormeries are easy to use and very rewarding. But vitally, they stop a significant proportion of your waste heading to landfill.
What can I put in the Wormery?
Wormeries will accept your ordinary kitchen waste such as peelings, cooked and uncooked scraps, tea bags, eggshells, paper kitchen towels, even shredded newspaper etc. In fact virtually any organic kitchen waste can go into a Wormery. The worms will even eat their way through shredded newspaper, egg cartons and toilet roll tubes!
What do I get out?
Your Wormery will give you two very useful products. The first of these is a strong, nutrient-rich, liquid feed which can be diluted and used as an excellent general purpose fertiliser for plants indoors or out, lawns and flowerbeds. The second product is a very fine potting compost which is in most cases ready for direct use. The compost product from a Wormery is widely accepted by gardeners as the best you can get - hence it's nickname of 'Black Gold'.
Does it smell?
No. Well designed Wormeries (like ours) should not smell at all. As the waste material you put in starts to decompose in the Wormery, it is consumed by the worms thereby effectively eliminating the possibility of odour. The rubberised compression seal around our Wormeries also helps to minimise any risk of odor as the food starts to break down.
