What is a Wormery?
A Wormery is an easy, efficient system of converting ordinary kitchen food waste into liquid feed and rich organic compost through the natural action of worms.
How does it work?
The Wormery is divided up into a number of chambers. In one of these live the Tiger Worms (it's OK, you don't have to touch them - you probably won't even see much of them). All you do is drop your daily kitchen waste into the bin and forget it. The worms feed on the food waste and convert it into concentrated liquid feed and Bio-rich organic compost.
What can I put in?
Wormeries will accept your ordinary kitchen waste such as peelings, cooked and uncooked scraps, tea bags, eggshells, paper kitchen towels, even shredded newspaper etc. In fact virtually any organic kitchen waste can go into a Wormery.
What do I get out?
From your Wormery, you will get a strong, nutrient rich liquid feed, which you dilute with water prior to use as an excellent plant food for house plants, garden flowers, shrubs, vegetables or as a lawn feed. Also, a rich organic compost known to keen gardeners as "Black Gold".
Why Worms?
Nature has provided us with the perfect waste disposal unit in the worm, and Tiger Worms are simply the most efficient at dealing with organic waste. They live their whole lives in the dark, moist atmosphere of the Wormery; eating the waste material you put in and converting it into liquid feed and compost. The worms are native to the UK and occur naturally outdoors wherever there is organic waste such as an old compost heap. All we have done is harness their abilities more efficiently by producing the ideal environment for them to work in.
Does it smell?
No. Well designed Wormeries (like ours) should not smell at all. As the waste material you put in starts to decompose in the Wormery, it is consumed by the worms thereby effectively eliminating the possibility of odor. The rubberised compression seal around our Wormeries also helps to minimise any risk of odor as the food starts to break down.
How many Worms are included?
The short answer is plenty! As the inventors of the Wormery we, in all modesty, think we know quite a little about their needs, features, designs, processes and their optimum running conditions – maybe even that bit more than many of our newer competitors!
When it comes to worms, a plentiful amount of quality worms is better than a big quantity of larger, cheaper worms. That’s why we supply our Wormeries with a plentiful initial stock of small-medium sized Tiger Worms (Eisenia Fetida) in pristine breeding condition. After lengthy research and trials by ourselves and others (The Open University) these have proven to be noticeably the best native species of worm for use in a Wormery and in over 20 years of using them, they continue to be our species of choice. They breed exceptionally well, are hungrier, and are more tolerant of a wider temperature, moisture and acidity range than their close cousins Dendrobaena which seem to be preferred by our competitors (probably because of their wider availability and lower cost - due to their use a bait by anglers).
We are not worm breeders with a surplus of worms who happen to sell Wormeries; we are the Wormery experts. We insist on only the best quality Worms from an independent worm farm. When it comes to worms only the best will do, so don’t settle for second best!
How Does It Work?
The Worm Works vs The Original Wormery - which Wormery should I buy?
It really is all about personal preference! Both Wormeries do the same job - and both do the job very well. We invented the first incarnation of The Original Wormery nearly 20 year ago and have sold units in the multiple hundreds of thousands. It has evolved and improved over time and we think it is the best Worm Composter available on the market.
The main difference between The Worms Works and The Original Wormery is that The Original Wormery is emptied only when full - and the Worms then reused. The Worm Works is an ongoing process whereby you take a tray of compost as it is ready, store the compost and pop the tray back on top for the Worms to migrate up into.
Some people prefer the convenience of a multi-tray system as removing the compost is simply a case of unstacking the tray. Some people also think they look nicer. This is where The Worm Works is ideal.

"Please find attached 3 photos of my three wormeries. The one on the left is 13 years old and has been with me through 3 house moves. It was joined by the Can-O-Worms about 5 years ago because it sounded easier than emptying the whole thing, but I was less than delighted with the product and ended up buying another Original Organics Wormery too. All 3 are in use and each gets emptied once a year, when they’re full up. Wormeries are addictive."
Ms J H, October 2007
"My wife and I have been operating our wormery for just over a year, we have noticed the difference in the number of black bags we leave for the dustbin men each week ( only 1 bag a week now, was 2) and our 2 boys love feeding them with our kitchen waste."
Mr M R, October 2007
"My son is fascinated with the process and along with the rest of the family have found the wormery one of the best 'green' products we have acquired.
We have already had some organic bio liquid and used it in our garden, the results are fantastic. Excellent product, Thank you."
Catrin Lewis, October 2007
"Well what can I say, you get everything that the website boasts. It was easy to set up. It's so easy to use. It's odourless. I really can say I'm doing my bit for the environment. I will never have to buy liquid compost again.
Does the word recycle make you squirm? You'll never worry when you've got your own worms!"
