All redworms had vanished. So, like yourself, I didn't even manage to sustain what I put into it. <br /><br />Out with the fork and a quick turnover of one of my vegetable beds and I found plenty of worms. I won't have that luxury when it's all planted up though, which is why I gave the wormery a shot. <br /><br />Oh well, nothing lost I guess - apart from a few worms!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638111924257280904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494864693182793884.post-34684058547582586652011-02-21T19:24:50.516+00:002011-02-21T19:24:50.516+00:00Hi David, I've only ever managed to keep lobs ...Hi David, I've only ever managed to keep lobs successfully for about 2 months, after that they just shrivel and die. <br /><br />You can feed them with smash mash powder (you know the one with the robots) but you need to discard what they don't eat. Too much of a faff for me. I just change the soil, moss and leaves once a week or so.<br /><br />From what you describe, you might find Redworms will suit your wormery better. I keep thousands in a wheelie bin using exactly the same method. No grass cuttings or citrus fruits like orange and lemon though, or oninons it'll kill em !Lee Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685597805202369375noreply@blogger.com
