What is Worm Composting?
Worm composting also known as vermicomposting or vermiculture is an excellent way to recycle food scraps and other organic materials into a valuable soil amendment (also known as vermicast or vermicompost). As a by-product, these amazing earth-saving little creatures produce “worm tea” which is an extremely valuable liquid fertiliser.
How Do Wormeries Work?
A wormery also known as a worm farm or wormbox bin utilizes worms to break down your kitchen and garden waste into rich compost. You simply add composting worms to your bin with holes for air circulation, and voila! The worms gorge themselves on the wasted nutrients, breaking them down into an amazing soil amendment. Plus, they generate liquid fertilizer to feed your plants. Compost Worms is the perfect answer to reducing food and organic waste while nourishing your garden. Go green and get composting!
What Do Worms eat? What Types of Waste Could You Expect to Recycle
Compost Worms are incredibly efficient recyclers of organic kitchen waste, typically they will eat a wide variety of organic materials such as paper, manure, food scraps, cardboard, and other biodegradable materials.

What Makes it Stand Out Compared To Traditional Composting Methods?
Faster Decomposition
Composting with worms is faster than traditional composting methods, as worms break down organic waste more quickly.
Space Efficiency
Composting with worms can be done in small spaces, as wormeries can be set up indoors or outdoors, making it ideal for those with limited space.
Higher-Quality Compost
Worm caster produced by a wormery is nutrient-rich, has more beneficial microorganisms, and contains fewer weed seeds than traditional compost. This makes it a superior fertilizer for plants, providing greater benefits to soil health and plant growth.
Reduction in landfill waste
Composting with worms helps to reduce the amount of organic waste that goes to landfills, thereby decreasing the amount of methane gas produced from decomposing organic waste in landfills, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Â
Odour Reduction
Composting with worms produces less odour than traditional composting methods, making it more suitable for indoor use and reducing unpleasant smells in the vicinity.
Versatility
Composting with worms can be done year-round, regardless of the weather or climate, making it a versatile option for producing nutrient-rich compost for gardening, agriculture, and other applications.
Lower Maintenance
Composting with worms requires less maintenance than traditional composting methods. Worms naturally move through the bedding, aerating it as they go, eliminating the need for manual turning. Additionally, wormeries produce less compost at one time than traditional composting methods, requiring less frequent harvesting.
