    Wormery advice

    Hi all,

    I have decided I am going to build a wormery. Firstly because I am not paying £50+ for a new one and secondly I have noticed from walking in my local area that there are 2 plastic boxes thrown in a hedge that I could make good use of. (I am a sucker for anything free)

    I would like to know how big to make it. (how many boxes to get) I do not have enough room for a compost bin in my small garden so the wormery would be my only source of compost. Also once the wormery is up and runnng how long does it take the worms to make me a container of compost? 6 weeks? 6 months?

    Also will I need to dilute the worm tea for my plants or can i use it neat?

    Thanks in advance!

      The liquid feed will need to be diluted 1 part feed to 10 parts water. And i don't think it's advisable to use worm castings as straight compost. It's more of an improver and fertiliser.

      This might help

        A wormery takes up as much floor space as a (taller) dalek. Well mine does
