The great thing about having a proper wormery is that as the worms eat their way through our leftovers they produce a liquid and as the wormery has an artificial floor with holes in, it allows this liquid to pass through to the bottom where it can be drained of by means of a tap. We now have our first brew of wormy wine ready to treat our plants with. Lets hope the plants like it:-)

I am sure your plants will like the diluted worm brew. I have had my wormery for three years now and have been delighted with the free fertiliser. My wormery is taking a long while to fill as there is not a lot of kitchen waste here but they seem to thrive on tea bags, potato peelings and banana skins.
Hi John...please could you tell me how much you dilute your worm brew by? We knew that we had to dilute it but with no instructions its all been a bit of guess work. It would be very useful to know exactly what we should do. Thanks. Helen
Hi Helen. The recommended dilution is one part of worm brew to ten parts of water - so it goes quite a long way.
You might like to look at the FAQ page on:

In the winter I wrap a couple of layers of bubble wrap round the wormery to keep the worst of the cold winds off it.
Have fun. John
Hi John. Thanks for that information...very useful. Helen
