Its too cold now for the wormery to live outside, the worms were becoming very sluggish. The wheelie bin is half full and there are millions of worms of all different sizes. And the bin is filling up with what looks to be lovely compost.
I have cured the problem of fruit flies by covering the top of the bin with a sheet of old mosquito netting fastened with elastic. Just need something to keep the compost smell in next !
The worms are back from their summer holiday’s ( thanks Matt!) and are currently eating a pile of old toilet roll tubes and the vegetable remains from yesterday’s Sunday dinner. We have lots of different sized worms so they are still breeding away. The wheelie bin is now about a third full or what feels like really good compost, maybe we can feed them a bit more… They do seem to be a bit slow in the mornings now as it cools down, time to move them into the utility room soon..

Samoyeds do have a high prey drive, Finn will catch mice in hedgerows and Cleo will destroy mole hills, but if the dogs are brought up with cats from being a puppy they should not hurt them. Lots of chasing but no damage so far.

As I was snoozing in bed I was woken to the cry of “one of your worms has escaped and its still alive”. It had made it a good 20 feet overnight, it was a bit dry but still very active - back in the wormery it went..
first tiny new worm spotted in the wormery.. must be doing something right..
but are been replaced with an outbreak of Entrachyadids - tiny thin white worms that indicate the food is too acidic, I need to add more cardboard and more lime. the worms are huge and there are thousands of them just under the surface…
the wormery has suddenly been attached by 1000’s of tiny little mites, each about a pinhead big, white with orange legs/feelers and mouth peices - ugg! This morning I lifted the lid to find them everywhere - on the top of the food, on the walls everywhere. I thought they might be worm eggs but some reading shows they are laid in the soil and these things are moving. Under the microscope they look like mites, but what sort? will they harm the worms or help the decomposing?
Putting a load of peat in the wormery was a good idea, the worms are getting big and fat - like your little finger. If you open the lid quickly you see them on the surface for a blink of an eye until they disappear down their holes back into the peat. The food seems to be going and I’m mixing in chopped up egg carton boxes to make sure it stays dry..
They are here in the new computer room aka the former garage , where it is nice and warm.. NO not from the computers I have a sunray 2 so no computers needed by me but the fan heater is on as it is cold sitting still typing all day..
So now Waverley Borough Council only collect real rubbish once every two weeks our car port fills up with bags of recycling material - there are bags of cardboard ( they don’t take that), boxes of tin cans, bags of plastic bottles, and boxes of bottles - all waiting to either be collected or taken to the local tip. Is that really more efficient, every household in farnham queueing in their car to drop the rubbish off that used to be collected by one big efficient deisel engined lorry?
All vegetable matter has gone into a couple of compost bins far away at the top of the garden ( to avoid the fruit fly swarms that erupt when you open them) . Now we have an Original Wormery at quite a discount via Waverley Borough council. Its like a wheelie bin but with a mesh divider about 6 inches up and a tap at the bottom.
You put the worms in some compost on the divider and then tip in all you organic waste, every week or so you open the tap to let out some 10X concentrated plant food and once a year you tip out the compost (keeping the tiger worms).
Ours seems a bit of a slow starter maybe its the cooler weather - lots of drowned worms but some are quite active in the compost. More reports as it matures or dies.
