As you’d expect, your kids will find a book of simple instructions, complete with frequently asked questions and answers, in their Can-O-Worms®.

You can access finished compost by unclipping the base, which our testers found to be a simple process.The liquid produced by water and condensation running down through the wormery makes an excellent plant feed, it is no more than that, it MIGHT have collected a few bugs and a tiny amount of nutrient but the time you have diluted by the “20:1 ratio” recommended every where you might as well just water the plants! It is important to make sure you use only composters in your Can-O-Worms since earthworkers will not do well. If you're interested in other types of garden waste disposal, you can see our round up of some of the best garden compost bins.

You need to keep the pH at neutral, worms are tolerant of a wide range of acid/alkaline conditions you do not need “conditioner” – myth. This liquid may be frequently drained and actively aerated to make compost tea, or used directly as a soil amendment your plants will love. They live inside the waste in the wormery container and thanks to big appetites and a fast metabolism, break down food waste like egg shells, vegetable peelings and tea bags and turn them into compost for your garden. as the worms reduce the food keep adding a bit more at a time, ignore any advice that tells you worms will consume twice their own weight or 2kg or 10kg per day or whatever. Worm Farm and Compost Conditioner – developed to help neutralize acidity and balance pH levels so that your composting worms can digest larger quantities of waste faster.

Fearing an early onset of dementia I asked my lovely partner Alex to read it through too, and he too can't see it either. Compost worms feed mainly on bacteria, protozoa and other micro-organisms so a fresh new bedding will not be appetising to them.

Each wormery has a detailed list of pros and cons for clarity and has been rated according to set up, value for money, ease of use, and storage. Adding an extra Working Tray to your worm farm will allow your worm population to grow, increasing the amount that you can feed your worms. Two large capacity round working trays – the first tray is fitted onto the collector tray and the bedding block is added together with the worms and your organic waste. If you have any questions about this process or any related worm related subject don't hesitate to ask me in the comments below or by any other means from the contact link in the navigation menu above.
