Can we put worms and wormeries in here?

Jesse · « **Reply #1 on:** January 09, 2006, 14:20:46 »

This section is for things that contribute in some productive sort of way towards producing things for the table. So if worms and a wormery contribute some way towards food, like making the compost to grow your veg in, then I don't see why not. A wormery is something I don't have and know little about so I certainly would be interested to know how it all works :)

Worms in a wormery are certainly kept, and if bees count as animals, why not worms?

One of the first pomes I remember reciting as a small child started..

"nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
I'm going down the garden to eat the worms"..

(thought you'd want to know that ::))

But if you're thinking of building your own, rather than buying a Wiggly W(r)igglers one, I remember that a long time ago - year before last, perhaps? - there was a method described somewhere here about constructing one from £1 shop storage bins......method was so good (and detailed) I kept it - to be lost in my recent PC crash.

Have a trawl, perhaps, if you're into making your own?

Hope this helps,

Lishka

blight, Jenny posted her version, but I've put in the one I knew from...ooooo...years and years ago!there too. As I was a child who always had a worm for a pet in her pocket or a beetle in a matchbox somewhere about, think my dramatically intoned pome must have been convincing enough for the grown-ups to get a bit nervous....

Jesse, thanks for posting the original link to the wormeries for me.

Cheers!

Our wormery is still going after 8 years. I'm not buying them all a present though.

Thanks for the link Jesse. :)

I'v been keeping and breeding various worms for different perposes for about 20 years, so if there is any advice or tips you require please ask. :)
