Let’s face it – we’ve all got that one thing in the shed or tucked behind the greenhouse that we meant to use again. If your wormery is sitting there unloved and unused, now’s the perfect time to give it a fresh start.
With the rising cost of living, more of us are trying to save where we can. Buying bags of compost from the garden centre can soon add up – so why not make your own? Getting your worm composter going again is a brilliant way to cut down waste, produce nutrient-rich worm casts for your garden, and do your bit for the planet.
Step 1: Give Your Wormery a Clean Start
Before adding new worms, it’s important to give your old wormery a bit of TLC:
-
Empty out any leftover waste or sludge.
-
Rinse out each tray with water – no need for harsh chemicals.
-
Check the tap and sump for blockages.
-
Give the lid and moisture mat a good clean too.
Now you’ve got a clean, empty wormery ready for action – what next?
Step 2: Order Your Wormery Rescue Kit

Why It’s Worth It
Restarting your worm composter isn’t just about saving money on compost – it’s about reducing waste, creating a healthy garden, and making a small but meaningful difference. Plus, watching worms quietly turn peelings into rich compost is strangely satisfying!
So don’t let that old wormery go to waste. Give it a fresh start – and let the worms do the hard work for you.
