Wormery?

We have a stacking wormery, which we don't use anymore, and a Hungry Bin. We don't feed them kitchen scraps nowadays as the resulting vermicompost was always too wet and stodgy. Instead they get a moistened mix of coffee grounds, shredded cardboard, ground egg shell and unfinished compost, plus bits of bread, rice or other grains going to waste. You don't need an actual wormery, any plastic container with a lid will do as long as it has some kind of drainage and air flow. I find our dalek bins, used for maturing homemade compost, turn into unintended wormeries anyway.

There is some evidence that vermicompost can reduce damping off and other plant diseases. I use it as part of my seedling and potting mixes, up to 20% by volume. The plants seem to like it.
