Product Information

If too much waste is added for the worms to cope with then the wormery may start to smell. This could also attract flies and possibly vermin. Remove and dispose of excess or undigested food. Wait until the worms start digesting the top layer of food before adding further waste.

Keep an eye on the mix of kitchen waste that you add to the composter. Composting worms are fairly voracious and can eat up to their own body weight a day, but if you add too much then the worms will not be able to keep up. On the other hand, the worms will be fine for a couple of weeks without food, so you can go away on holiday and not worry about them.Wormeries are usually emptied when they are full; this takes about 8 to 12 months. You must separate the worms before using the compost. These worms prefer slightly different conditions, so you may find a mix of both gives you more flexibility in maintaining your wormery. You may have to reduce how much waste you add in colder weather. As the temperature decreases, the worms slow down and their activity stops when it falls below 10°C.

E. fetida is closely related to E. andrei, also referred to as E. f. andrei. The only simple way of distinguishing the two species is that E. fetida is sometimes lighter in colour. Molecular analyses have confirmed their identity as separate species, and breeding experiments have shown that they do produce hybrids.

In winter, if it gets very cold where you live, you can guard against the worms freezing by wrapping old carpet or bubble wrap around the composter. The worms lay their eggs in small, yellow, lemon-shaped cocoons every three to four days, except in winter. One or more young worms emerge from the cocoons around 23 days after they are laid. These worms grow and become sexually mature three to six weeks after hatching. Keep the wormery out of direct sunlight as it may get too hot for the worms. A shady north-facing wall is a good position for the summer.

Hints and tips on using maintaining your wormery

Stimulate fish appetite: Red worm liquid affects the taste and smell organs of fish, making them more eager, which causes a stronger attraction and hunger response. Panacur Equine Guard liquid horse wormer is white liquid wormer given preferably in November and/or January to eliminate encysted small redworms. Panacur Guard is given daily for five days. This ‘five-day course' will of course also treat any other worms sensitive to Panacur other than tapeworm and Bots. Dosing rate Some wastes have strong odours, which can attract flies (termed fruit flies) that are harmless, but can be a nuisance. This problem can be avoided by burying the new waste in the decomposed material or covering it with a layer of damp newspaper. Do not use chemicals to control the flies as it could harm the worms. Found in the silt of lakes and rivers and known to be one of the most irresistible natural food sources for coarse fish, bloodworm has always been a hugely successful fish bait, used in numerous forms.

A wormery is relatively easy to establish though a few points need to be considered. Conditions required These giant worms are found in the soil of your garden. They are brilliant baits to use on rivers, when the rivers are high, flooded and coloured. The reason why they are so good in those conditions is because of the size of the bait – the fish can find it easily in the murky water.

Shops that sell fishing bait also regularly carry the correct species. The most common species sold is Eisenia fetida, which has many common names including tiger worm, red worm, brandling worm and red wriggler. You may also find Dendrobaena veneta, or European nightcrawler. Compost worms are hermaphrodites, which means they have both female and male sex organs. Nevertheless, compost worms usually still need to mate with each other to reproduce. Compost worms breed fast and can double their population every 60-90 days, depending on temperature.The best place to find a readily available supply of redworms is a well-established compost heap. The warm, rotting vegetation provides a healthy home for the worms which will soon breed and thrive in that sort of environment. This method is best fished using a pole for the simple reason that the chopped up worms are almost impossible to catapult as they spray all over the place, so you need to use a pole cup to introduce the chopped-up worm pieces into a single area with accuracy.
