Title: home made wormery
Post by: spaf69 on March 18, 2007, 22:26:15
I would like a womery, and have tried to search on this forum, but the search doesn't work for me.

On another site someone had made one from the stacking boxes you can get from B&Q etc does anyone know the instructions for doing this, they did have a link on the site, but it doesn't work or does anyone have any other ideas on how to make one as I don't have a lot of money spare, but I do have some of these boxes.

many thanks for any help or pointing me to a thread already on this site with the answer.

Have you checked with your local authority? Guildford Borough Council does a £90 one for a fiver. We only discovered this last week & it's now on it's way...

Hi I made my own last year out of 4 storage boxes and some strong wire and 1 tap (suitable for barrels)

total cost was £6 for all above and got the worms free from my compost bin

easy to make in the bottom storage box (A) fit tap at the frount about 1 inch from bottom

next cut out the bottom of the other 3 storage boxes (B,C,D) leaving an edge around the frame of 1 - 2 inches and place a cut peice of wire to them

then stack them up A first then B add to this the bedding and the worms then c ontop so they connect with the bedding add your kitchen waste and shredded paper (50 / 50) then D with more kitchen waste

The wroms will slowly eat there way up to the top and leave in box A the WW (Worm Water) your liquid feed and the B the compost when full.

hope this makes sense  will try to find site I got the info from
