Brrr - its cold outside……..

what do you do with your wormery in the winter ?

We have had a few emails recently from concerned customers about what to do with their wormery in the winter.

Worms will become sluggish in the cold, their metabolism slows down and they don’t eat or breed as quickly

Therefore the first piece of advice is - if possible move the wormery into a shed, greenhouse or garage, as the temperature will be warmer

If your wormery has to stay outside, move it against a south facing wall of your house, not only will the wormery benefit from the warmth of the sun, but it might get some of the heat that comes from your house.

Insulate your wormery, wrap it in bubble wrap, or an old duvet, add cardboard or old jumpers to the inside.

Another small tip - as food composts it creates heat, certain foods like pasta, bread, cake, cereals produce more heat than others, so add a few slices of bread  into the corner of your wormery.

We empty the contents of our bokashi bucket directly onto our worm beds, the worms crawl all over it, and seem to snuggle up to it as it radiates heat like a hot water bottle.

We are often asked about worm reproduction, and specifically what does a worm egg actually look like.

Well we came across some fabulous pictures last week of red worms and their cocoons in a wormery

so we thought that we should share them with you 

In the pictures below you can clearly see the worm cocoons, little lemon shaped eggs, The cocoons start off as pale yellow eggs and eventually turn a darker brown colour . The darker the cocoon - the closer they are to hatching.

A huge thank you to Mary for allowing us to publish these photos, we hope that you have enjoyed looking at them as much as we have
