My husband built my wormery, which is about 12' x 4', and about 4' high, about 9 years ago. In it I put a mix of horse manure (of which I am never short!), grass cuttings, certain household waste, fallen leaves and carefully chosen garden waste.
I bought 8 kg of worms from you, and a few items to keep them happy, and for years now I have the most wonderful compost at any time of the year. My worms have multiplied to the extent that I don't need to try and remove them from the compost, I just dig them into the garden to improve my horrible clay soil along with the compost. (My soil is now really good). I have become quite fond of them and will always rescue any that get themselves into precarious situations. I am so glad that I came across Wiggly Wigglers and decided to have the wormery, I don't know what I would do without it now. It is nice to hear of so many other people using worms to compost, I recommend it highly to everybody. Thank you, Wiggly Wigglers, and please keep up the good work.

Flies don’t actually harm worms but they are unpleasant so its good idea to get rid of them. They hate lime mix and cardboard so add a bit of both. Leave the lid off in daylight for a day or so and repeat when the maggots have turned to flies. To prevent flies, make sure you have your moisture mat on and try wrapping your kitchen waste in newspaper before you put it in. You could also try adding a little wood ash or a layer of top soil.
Worm death by drowning - Worms will wiggly down into the sump if conditions are too wet or acidic in the upper trays. Again lots of cardboard will help. Also leave the tap open and something to collect the worm tea, that way there is nothing in the sump for the worms to drown in. I put a small piece of thin material (eg old tights) over the inside of the tap, to stop the worms coming out that way.

I have also had insect problems - small flies in the summer. Also drownings meaning that I have to purchase new worms to keep things active. Not giving up yet though!

The concept is great but I have had the same problem as other reviewers with insects. Advise on that topic would be useful.
Also, the worms you sent me were not good swimmers--that has proven to be a fatal genetic flaw this year. As a result the worm population is much reduced and composting has slowed measurably.

I was a little worried a first as the thought of so many new pets seemed daunting however last weekend I harvested my first tray of deliciously no odour wrigglers compost and had no problem rescuing the odd escapee from the mix. I have had loads of worm juice or wormilizer as I call it, no pinching my ideas! My garden looks great and having no room for a compost heap the wormery is perfect. In addition to the recycling since we bought the wormery we are only putting out one 30l bin bag a week for landfill a great achievement and a nearly redundant black wheelie bin!

The worms are brilliant. I got a can-o-worms a couple of years ago, and despite a slow start, it is just about keeping going. The big surprise though was that the 'wormies' escaped into my standard compost bin and they LOVE it there. They really tear through everything we throw at them, including shredded paper, card and all manner of peel, veg etc.

Marvellous little critters! Keep 'em happy (which is easy!) and they'll reward you with lovely, rich crumbly compost and fabulous liquid feed. Once your wormery gets up and running it will save you loads of money on plant food and top notch compost which is particularly good for your houseplants.
