Wormery (Worm Composter)

Step 4 Adding the mesh

For each box:

Cut the mesh to size using tin snips.

Then lay the mesh into the bottom of the box and using a marker draw six dots where the split pins will go.

Then remove the mesh and drill 4mm hole on these dots.

Placing the mesh back in, push the split pins through the holes ensuring one leg goes either side of a piece of the mesh and open out underneath.

Would steel window screen work for this or would it not allow for good enough drainage?

I don't think the worms would be able to climb through when you but the next box on. If you are just making a single layered box then it should be fine.

Could you not use a staple gun for this bit?

I guess so, but you would then need to bend all the legs underneath to hold the mesh, the mesh I just was quiet springy so needed some taming.
