Designed for use by the whole family, the Original Wormery is an
exciting new product that makes an
ideal
and unusual gift. Wormeries are not only fascinating
products but also
eco-friendly
waste converters. They divert food waste away from the bin
and turning
organic waste
into something useful – worm compost. Everything you need is included
with this wormery so buy one and get started straight away.
Turn your waste into something valuable
The Original Wormery will create both a quality compost and a
nutritious liquid plant feed
that is perfect for feeding your vegetable patch, lawn or pot
plants. All Wormeries come equipped with
everything you need,
including worm bedding, anti-acid lime mix and even the worms (Tiger
Worms or Eisenia Fetida). The Original Wormery is
great for people who are new to
wormeries because detailed instructions and
helpful advice are included, as well as a freephone Wormery help line.
Why use a Wormery?
Wormeries are
incredibly
simple and
natural waste converters that take cooked and uncooked food waste,
shredded newspaper, cardboard, tea bags and egg cartons (or other
similar items) and divert them away from the bin. In the UK
we send nearly 7 million tonnes of food waste or peelings to
landfill! So
do your bit
to cut these volumes down in an interesting way.
A simple and clean way of producing your own compost
Using the Original Wormery is an
odourless
process as
the worms eat the waste right away rather than letting it decompose. If
you do smell something from your wormery it is most likely to be a
healthy composty smell signifying that you are on your way to
making
beautiful
compost and the liquid feed (sometimes referred to as
'Black Gold'). It takes only a
couple of weeks to compost a whole handful of waste and over a year you
can fill and harvest one whole bin of nutritious compost. The
liquid feed that settles at the bottom of the Original Wormery can be
collected on average every 3 or 4 weeks.
The Original Wormery design
The self-contained Wormeries feature a
unique patented internal draining
system which works to create a pit of liquid feed towards the bottom of
the chamber, which is easily collectable via a tap. Worms are
'surface-feeders'
so they will always work their way to the top of the bin leaving their
worm compost settled beneath them.
Assembled in the UK and supplied just in grey, The Original Wormery
included a rubberised foam lid-seal that keeps worms in
and flies out, as well as a Brass Aeration Vent for airflow. These
features meaning the Wormery can be
kept
indoors or outside. The Original Wormery also has a
5 year guarantee.
Benefits for you, your garden and the globe
Not only does the Original Wormery
cut down on landfill waste
(in turn reducing methane levels in the air which lead to global
warming) but helpfully slims down your bin contents and means you are
less likely to need to light a polluting bonfire either. For your
garden, the
Original Wormery provides nutrients that mean you can water less and
replace the use of chemical
fertilisers and pesticides. The worm compost also
increases the rate of growth and the overall health of your plants!
