Here come Willy and Julien's tutorials! On our YouTube channel, we are launching a series of videos to help you understand everything about vermicomposting. And to start with, an essential question: what is a wormery?
A composter… with worms
A wormery is a composter in which compost worms do the work. You add your peelings and kitchen scraps, and the worms eat them. They turn them into vermicompost, a very rich natural fertiliser for plants.
A liquid also drains to the bottom: worm tea, which, once diluted, feeds your houseplants and garden plants.
Why have one?
- to reduce the weight of your bin;
- to produce a free, natural fertiliser;
- to compost even without a garden, in a flat;
- to introduce children to the cycle of matter.
How does it work?
Most wormeries work with stacked trays. The worms move up from level to level towards the fresh food, leaving the vermicompost behind them, ready to harvest. Julien shows you all of this in the video.
