Cinnamon Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Did anyone see Richard & Judy this evening? They had a feature on recycling with worms & had a Can O Worms on there.......as well as the younger Mr Strawbridge (unfortunatly he kept his top on) There was a woman who wrote a good article in the Mail yesterday about her Can O Worms too. You can see her article here - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/newscomment.html?in_article_id=443422&in_page_id=1787 It was quite good - Richard even sniffed a worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yes, I saw it! And the young Mr Strawbridge was very informative, if a little nervous. Aaah! A bit quieter than his father! I'm sure the woman said she'd only had hers 24 hours so it was too early to report anything. What sort of article could she have written about it yesterday? Mr strawbridge said a can-o-worms was much easier to get to grips with than ordinary composting. I have only read the experiences of others, but my impression was that it is quite tricky keeping the worms alive. I wanted to ask him about it!

The Dogmother Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Too young for me I am afraid I'm probably old enough to be his mum, but he'd be a fun diversion Ginette, worms are easy peasy, I love mine and have even been known to talk to them while I'm feeding them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I have a can of worms. it does work quite well, but I find it on the slow side. The compost is excellent though, and it also produces a "worm tea" liquid, which is a superb plant food. All in all I would say get one, but don't expect the worms to eat all your veg waste in super quick time...It is a useful extra. PS...worms hate anything oniony or citrusy.

Cinnamon Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I didn't get along with my Can O Worms - I am far too squeamish to be looking at the wrigglers just after I have eaten And they kept on escaping too I sold it a few weeks after I got it & went over to normal composting instead.

Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've managed to kill my worms . I don't know how but there's no wormy action in there at all anymore . I'll have to restock it when the weather's a bit better and see if I can keep it going then. I feel awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Mine seem OK although I still haven't been able to add the top layer yet, I did put them in the shed over the winter to keep them warm. I can't actually put too much food in the wormery at a time they seem to go very slow, I may try and add some horse manure from the stables that has worms in it to speed things up................

Lesley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've killed my worms as well Kate - in a different wormery to the Can o Worms. I didn't go to it very often as a big spider took up residence I'll try again I did have some useful compost though, before I killed them.

Mrs Frugal Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Glad I'm not the only worm murderer . I think I overfed mine as there is still food in there which hasn't been touched. I'll tip everything out and start again and see if I can keep them going this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I've had a layer of super compost from them and loads of liquid. They're not fast, well not in the winter they're not, but it works well. The rain cap was useless, so I use a dustbin lid on top instead and they're happy little chappies.
