Original Organics Can o worms

Our local council are now at long last trying to get their act together to up the amount of household waste that they recycle. However their household collection schemes are rather patchy. In the more affluent parts of the borough the residents have been issued with brown bins to recycle their garden waste. I do not live in one of these areas so I don't have one. This is somehing I regular complain about. I already compost as much as I possibly ...
...full to overflowing. When I saw an article in the local newspaper saying that the council were giving away wormerys and compost bins you can imagine I was first in the queue. Well something for nothing and more opportunity to recycle. *****************THE NEW PETS ARRIVE********************* Packed neatly in recyclable material was absolutely everything I needed to get going apart from my kitchen scraps. Included in the parcel was the wormery ...

Review of Original Organics Can o worms

As most of you probably know I can’t bear to throw anything away that might prove useful to someone else and it is to this end that I recycle as much as I can – glass, cardboard, papers etc. At our new home here in Llandudno we have a courtyard garden so there isn’t a suitable place for a compost heap, so I bought a cheap dustbin and threw the kitchen waste in that to make some compost. Yes, I know now!!!! The result was a vile smelling, revolting, ...
...of the planters that I used for my runner beans and it did them a power of good but, even though I wore thick gardening gloves, my hands smelled horrible for days afterwards, no matter how often I washed them! I needed a better way of composting – enter the wormery! I had heard of wormeries, but had never actually used one or even seen one in operation, but I first saw one in the RSPB gift book. It was called a Can O Worms and looked interesting ...

There are many different types of worm composting systems available, and with a quick search on the internet you can find advice on how to make your own. I spoke to various people who have some kind of worm composter before making my purchase and found that one of the major pains is separating the worms from the compost when it is ready to be emptied. The Can-o-worms avoids this (for the most part) by virtue of being a stackable system. The idea ...
...some supplied bedding. To this you add the worms and your vegetable waste. When the bottom tray is 'full' (up to about half way, but when you use it, it is obvious) you add the next tray. Without the bedding it will take longer to fill this tray up, but when it too is full, you add the third tray. Finally when the third tray is full, the bottom tray is ready to be emptied and placed as the new top tray. As a rough guide, for two peoples vegetable ...

Review of Original Organics Can o worms

We had thought about buying a worm composter for a while, but decided to try traditional composting first instead, however we had mixed results with the bargain garden composter from the local council and while that continues to "cook" at the end of the garden we searched the web and found a variety of possiblities from Wiggly Wigglers. We opted for the Can-o-worms with starter pack. This included the bin itself (legs, base, tap to drain nutrient-rich ...
...a "bedding pack", moisture retention mat, worm treat and anti-acid pellets. The pack arrived withing 48 hours and was easily assembled. The cardboard outer is used as a base in the first tray, and - after soaking for 10 minutes - the bedding block (coir) is crumbled in and the worms added. My son enjoyed helping with the setting up, and I found myself wondering if the worms were ok out there when it rained that night (they were fine, they all come ...
