Step 6Keeping worms happy
Worms will eat almost anything that will decompose
Fed on kitchen scraps but not too much of one thing and little and often
Large quantities of citrus peel, seeds, meat and fish are best avoided
Keep container covered to avoid fruit flies
Don't allow the bin to get too hot or dry out

Great idea but can't find suitable boxes anywhere. Tried Asda but they dont have them. Only ones I can find in B & Q are clear plastic and wont be suitable?

Worms like the dark, I guess clear plastic ones and a coat of paint is one possibility. Have you tried places like QD and Staples or maybe even Ikea.

Same here. Most containers for sale are clear. Would'nt be a problem if the wormery is stored somewhere dark, i.e. a cupboard.

I made some worm trays out of wood and I have to say this approach is much much better! The only question is have is the weight of a fully loaded "tray". I wonder what the weight per "tray" is when you are ready to either add new bedding or harvest the soil. Great, simple design!
