Tiger Wormery Tap

Tap for a Tiger Multi Tray Wormery.

Worm Compost Bedding

A Bag of Special Worm Compost for use with your Wormery. Please note that ordinary potting compost cannot be used in a Wormery.

Available in 1.5kg, 3kg and 4.5kg bags

Pelletised Worm Treats (3Kg Bag)

If your Wormery gets too wet from time to time you can simply add and mix in some dry shredded newspaper or cardboard.

Alternatively you can throw in a handful or two of these specially prepared wood based pelletised 'treats'

Made from 100% sustainably resourced and non contaminated wood waste, known as 'Ecowood' they rapidly absorb excess moisture, swell up and are readily processed by your happy Tiger Worms

In typical use a 3Kg bag should be plenty for one Wormery for about a year (although it won't do any harm if you use more).

Whilst by no means essential, they are an entirely natural accelerator to worm composting and a handful added every 3 or 4 weeks will help ensure your Wormery stays sweet, well balanced and working at its best.

At this price for a 3Kg bag they also represent great value.

Slimline Waste Caddy (Green)

Keep this handy Slimline Waste Caddy in your kitchen and use it to collect your kitchen waste for your wormery or composter. 10 Litres in capacity, this caddy is a robust, high quality container, with a unique size and shape that makes it easy to fit into cupboards (ideal for under the sink!) and easy to tip plates right in! These handy containers are bestsellers and made from recycled plastic.

Includes a carbon filter to eliminate odours.

Lime Mix

Keep your worms thriving with our environmentally friendly soft lime mix. This mix will ensure that the environment in the Wormery is stable and non-acidic. Simply add a handful every month, or more if you use lots of acidic fruits.

Typically one bag (1.5kg) should last you 6 months or more!

Available in bags of 1.5kg, 3kg and 4.5kg

Moisture Mats for Wormeries

Our Wormeries work by harnessing the surface feeding nature of the hungry tiger worms contained within. This happens naturally as it's a trait of these composting worms to live near the surface rather than deep into the compost.

However, by adding a moisture mat to your Wormery you make it easier for the worms to find the surface and encourage them upwards. They can also help prevent occasional fly infestations by adding another barrier to the outside world.

Simply pop a damp mat on the surface of the food waste in your Wormery and leave it there. When you add new food waste, add it just underneath the mat.

The mat, being made of Coir and being natural will eventually degrade and be eaten up itself by the worms - so we supply them in packs of 3.

Our Moisture Mats are cut to size, so they will fit perfectly in all our Wormeries.

So why are Tiger worms best for a Wormery?

The short answer:-

There are three native species of worm which are all good at the rapid processing of dead organic waste into nutrient rich compost these are:-

1) The Tiger worm, aka the Brandling worm. Proper name Eisenia fetida
2) The Bluenose worm, aka Dendobaena and the European night crawler and by some as Eisenia hortensis. Proper name Dendrobaena veneta
3) The Redworm, aka the red wiggler and the Brandling worm. Proper name Eisenia andrei

All are good and will work well in your wormery. But, for adaptability, conditions tolerance, versatility and composting rate the answer is..... The Tiger Worm.

Some Worm facts

1) Tiger worms are a little more expensive and significantly but not overwhelmingly better than Dendrobaena in Wormeries.
2) Young worms are preferable (hungrier!) to older worms.
3) When it comes to composting - the condition, age, size and species of worm is more important than their weight.
4) Tiger worms reach sexual maturity (they are hermaphrodite) in approx 6 weeks. 
5) Dendrobaena are more widely available than Tigers as there is an established 'cottage' industry breeding them for anglers who hook them up as bait. They are also easier to harvest and are usually cheaper.
