Because we have homeana hingebacks I need a good supply of worms. I've made a wormery in the past but that was hit and miss, to buy worms from the fishing shop at £5 / 0.5kg is too expensive.
So back to the good old compost bin, these bins are only about £5. We have an endless supply of worms, pillbugs and slugs from this bin.
All we do is throw in veg peelings, plant clippings and grass, lots of grass. Also any uneaten Tortoise food goes in here. Did I mention grass, worms love decomposing grass. As everything decomposes it generates heat, heat rises and so the worms follow the heat.
So all I do is scrape away at the layers of decomposing grass on the surface with a fork and collect the worms, there is literally 1000's in here. Plenty of woodlice and slugs too.
An easy free recycling way for protein, no hard digging in the garden, its a year round supply, I also know what's going in the compost bin too(no pesticides).
