Wormeries are a great way to start composting
When we first moved into Broadspear I started looking at all the different ways to start a composting system. I set up a regular everyday waste composter, a large leaf composter (which is made from pallets) and also two wormeries. I had never even seen a wormery in use before, but I was intrigued by the idea of living things mulching away on leftover bits from my kitchen.
If you haven't heard of a wormery, it is basically a box made up of at least two or three trays with holes in them, which contain composting worms that eat waste from the kitchen. The upper tray is where you keep the composting worms, and where you place your waste. The worms eat their way through this and poo out the most fantastic rich soil. The tray underneath is where all the liquid goes.
