Things to do at home

Wormeries or Worm bins

You can make worm bins in many different types of containers. You can buy specially designed bins or you can make one from a bucket or large plastic container.

Worms

Remember you can't use ordinary earthworms so you'll need to buy special compost worms. Call your local council to see if they are available in your area.

Once you have started your own worm bin you'll soon have lots of new worms to make more wormeries. Share them amongst your friends so that they can start recycling their kitchen scraps too.

Worm Food

The idea is to feed your worms all kinds of scraps from your kitchen instead of throwing them away. It's best not to give them meat, dairy products, fat, bones, orange peel, lemon peel, onion or garlic. Remember to always wash your hands after handling your worms or wear gloves.
