    I just bought this composter, I have set it up watching your video as a guide. I look forward to see how it goes! I live in a flat and found it very convenient

      Hi Dan, good to see you too at Malvern. I need to thank the g/f for her marketing patter with Heather for getting one for me and Nigel. I'll send her round to get me one of these posh green houses, lol. All the best Nic

    They are magic! The worm casts/compost is so rich in beneficial enzymes.... 35yrs ago I started a worm bin, but over the years I realised they are very happy in a plastic bog standard compost bin. I am very impressed by your swanky wormery though, get you! 😁 😇

      It was a lovely gesture to be given it review. So far so good. Whatever works well for the garden is even better the simpler it is too. All the best Nic

      Nic's Allotment your new bin looks really neat... I hope the worms are happy. You will be thrilled with the results Nic. All the very best to you. X

    Nice to see the worm activity and I harvested some of my castings today for the Chilli's. Thankyou Nic.
    🌱Happy Composting my friend, Terry.

      I hope they do the chillies a load of good Terry. Can't wait to get the first casting and liquid fee to use. All the best Nic

    Hi Nick, I have been using a home made worm composter for a year now and it's the best thing that I ever done for my garden.

    Hi Nick, what kind of worms did you use, they didn't look like Red Wigglers?

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  Рік тому

      Hi Michael
      The worms were sent with the kit from Wiggly Wigglers, but I don't remember if they were the red wigglers or not.
      Thanks for watching.
      All the best, Nic

    Its a nice looking system. Lots of worms. I have a bin I made about 5 years ago in the cellar runs all year no smell. But not very easy to harvest as its one bin.

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  6 років тому

      Well done on your home made one. You'll have to try and see if you can adapt it for a second tier. You must be impressed with it if you've been using it for 5 years. I'm really enjoying mine so far. All the best Nic

      @NicsAllotment  6 років тому

      I like to see the wildlife in the garden and allotment too Joyce. The blackbirds and robins follow me around the plot waiting to see what I dig up. The wormery is in the back garden so that I can keep an eye on it. All the best Nic

    Hi mate, nice to see how you set up the wormery. Are you an Nigel going to have a competition to see how much worm compost you can make in a season? Take care. Nick

    Looks a good product but just too expensive for me at the moment thanks for update cheers 🍻

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  6 років тому

      Hi Jacko, I can appreciate that but it appears quite a few people can make some form of wormery, but don't benefit from the different tiers. It's proving to be a really good product so far so perhaps you could ask Father Christmas for one, lol. All the best Nic

    Hello nick, Looks like a good product. Will it be a race now between you & Nigel as to who gets the 1st liquid feed? Nice tutorial mate. Thanks for sharing.

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  6 років тому

      It's going well Rod. No sign of the liquid feed yet though. Will have to be patient. All the best Nic

      Good to hear your rate yours so well. This is going great guns at the moment but having to be patient for the liquid feed to see how good that is. All the best Nic

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers 6 років тому

      Not too keen on the liquid feed, Nic. But I do use it very very diluted. Compost great though!

    Does this attract flies in the summer? As i have seen a couple of reviews that it does... Thanks

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  5 років тому

      Hiya Sophie. I've had no problem with flies around the wormery at all. It's a self contained unit and has been great in the really hot summer we've just had. It's a really good option for home composting kitchen waste. Let me know if you need any further info on it. All the best Nic

    Hey there. Thanks for uploading the video. I have a question. Did your worms never escaped from the urbalive wurmbox? I am trying this box now for the last weeks and I have the problem every night. Even with a LED-light over it. To find every morning at least five worms on the floor is really pain in the neck. Maybe you have some tips…

    • @imagelee
      @imagelee 3 роки тому

      It might be oxygen problem. Reducing food and uncovering lid will help.

    • @RapaciousSloth
      @RapaciousSloth 3 роки тому

      I just read somewhere that if it's too wet than the worms will try to escape.

  • @GordonjSmith1
    @GordonjSmith1 5 років тому

    Nice to see great progress. But when I think about my own garden I can't initially see the advantage over Mick Poultney's compost bins. But perhaps someone can explain why these bins are an advantage over a decent compost heap.

    • @NicsAllotment
      @NicsAllotment  5 років тому +1

      Hi Gordon, you can't beat a decent compost heap, but I have found the wormery really useful for home composting from the kitchen. It's just very convenient and clean for the home environment or for those that don't have a lot of veggie waste - at least they can recycle something. All the best Nic
