I quite fancy giving one a go this year...

I've found this site -

Does anyone have any suggestions?

We have this one

Although you can get them cheaper at Woolies - the tank type

Or make your own which is simple

The kids love it

Thats weird, was just about to start a thread. My daughter was bought a small womery for her birthday, its just one from argos.

We got it out on sunday, dug some worms up and put them in, comes with lots of different material, you just add a bit of soil to make up the layers.

We only managed to find a couple of small ones so not been able to see them in the womery very well but were going out again tomorrow to hopefully dig some bigger ones up.

The kids think its brilliant.

If you sprinkle some water on some soil and leave it for a bit you usually see lots of worms come up in the garden

I want a compost wormery for the garden. You throw in your kitchen scraps and at the bottome there's a "juicer" nozzle where you drain off the liquid that the worms make and use it on your plants.

Thank you! That's brilliant info...

check this out they do wormeries. I am due one from here eventually as it was my Christmas pressie unfortunately Gary had no money at Christmas so I wouldn't let him buy it and when he was going to get me one a few weeks ago flaming bills came in

The desktop womery looks like the one we've just set up but alot cheaper. I think it was £12.00 in argos.

If I can persuade someone to find the worms for me I might have a go! It will fit in perfectly to our world/environment theme for April

Sorry to say I do not fancy this at all - just not a worm person

Reading this thread has stopped Wiggly from wiggling - Wiggly does not like worms.

Good luck to you all partaking though.

i got a wormery for my birthday and it is ace

I dont like worms, wouldnt pick them up or anything but I am really taking to my 'boys'
pair of vinyl gloves and I can stick my hands in.

this is the one I have, nikki and graham are lovely, the reason why I went for this wormery is because they give you ongoing support. and I have emailed them quite a few times with random questions and they have responded quickly.
for example when it snowed and I didnt know wether to bring the wormery in. we left it outside on their advice and my boys are fine.

plus its educational for the mindees too.

Have you got a composter in the garden / my dd went to put some peelings in ours yesterday and came running back in screaming that it was swarming with worms

Thank you for the link! I will investigate

**Donkey** · 20-04-2008, 01:37 PM

did you get one sarah?

**sarah707** · 20-04-2008, 02:13 PM

I intend to get one as soon as my patio is done... which is now booked for sometime in the next 2 weeks when it's not raining and he can fit me in!

We're all very excited!

**Donkey** · 20-04-2008, 02:36 PM

I went to take the stuff from the kitchen out to the wormery, had a little poke about with my vinyl gloved covered finger and we have babies!!!!!!!!

baby worms were looking at me, it was only 1.5cm long, I am so proud

**manjay** · 20-04-2008, 02:47 PM

This thread reminded me so i have just ordered mine! I think it is fab to be able to have it just outside the door so I don't have to traipse down to the composter at the bottom of my garden. I will let you know how I get on
