Wormeries are a means of natural garden waste disposal, using worms to turn compostable material into nitrogen-heavy natural fertiliser. In addition to this, whenever you cover up food with newspaper or cardboard, you will never be able to tear it perfectly to fit along the rounded sides. They encourage the worms to work in the freshest waste, thereby speeding up composting and reducing odours. I wanted to do that because I had far too much "fresh" food to go striaght in the wormery, and I hoped by bokashi-fermenting it the worms would get through it quicker.

On a technical note, I'm ready to harvest my first lot of compost (or at least see if it's ready to be harvested). Once you have filled this second tray with waste (again on a daily basis) then the first, lower tray will be ready for the vermicompost to be harvested. It has a total capacity of 80 litres but the large surface area means worms can process up to 2kg of waste per day. Other than that, it’s very handy to have at home, since you can easily place it indoors (beside your kitchen counter, under your sink, by your balcony) or outdoors.Compost worms feed mainly on bacteria, protozoa and other micro-organisms so a fresh new bedding will not be appetising to them. However there is more to feeding a worm farm than just chucking food in the ant proof feet don’t work in North Queensland.

Like most stacking tray systems it has a base with a tap to drain leachate, to this the legs are attached, the first tray has the worms and bedding, to this the kitchen waste is added, when full the next tray is added into which the waste is placed for the worms to move up into. Our testers found the trays easy to handle but that the “stop” between them prevented worms from working upwards, even though aeration was improved.At the moment I'm using damp newspaper - one of the chaps on Gardeners Corner forum said that's what they use. You will need to drain your wormery using an included tap or outlet every few days and the liquid can be diluted to a 1:10 ratio of water and used to feed your plants.
