how do i make a wormery ?

Answer 1

I haven't made one, I bought one. It's a plastic bin, like a small wheelie bin, with a tap at the bottom. There is a mesh to stop the worms falling into the liquid. I have red tiger worms which you can mail order. I answered this a few days ago (dont' know if you were the asker) but if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to answer them via email.

Answer 2

The simplest thing would be to buy one, or U can make one. If in the country, build a compost heap and zillions of worms will find it. If U live in the city, it is best to find a large plastic tub with a drainage spout near the lower rim, or an old used ice chest that has that apparatus already there. Sit it off the ground in a shaded area and add compost, manure, and all raw veggie left overs. Dig a deep hole in the middle of all that and put in the worms. Cover it with a screen so the worms can't crawl out and to keep other varmints out. Open the drain once a week to let out the water (great fertilizer for houseplants). Providing you continue to feed them, U will eventually have more worms than U could ever use unless U are planning to sell them.

Build a wooden frame that goes a foot or two down into the ground and rises a foot or so above the ground. Throw in some rabbit manure and mix in some dirt with the manure. Buy some redworms and throw them in. Make sure to get redworms. As you get rabbit manure keep adding it in. About once a week or so turn the the manure in the box. Make sure the soil/manure mix stays moist and doesn't get dry by watering it about once every one or two days if it doesn't get rain. The worms like and need moist ground. Keep the box in a shady spot. If you have rabbits, you can keep it right under the rabbit pens. The redworms will produce thousands of new redworms. After several months the worms will have eaten up all of the food organic matter in the bed, the soil will look different. Transfer the worms to another bed and the soil can be used as a great potting soil for African Violets.

For full details, get the book "Raising Fishworms with Rabbits" by Howard L Mays on Amazon.com. It costs about $8.

Answer 5

Bury a cooler 2'x3' size with a hole in the bottom for drainage put good soil in and when you find worm around your garden put them in. also put your coffee grounds every couple month and keep lid on it so not to drown them when it rains Start with two and next thing you know you have 1200.

My Father did that and we had the biggest night crawlers for fishin

This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
