Summary: Strangely mesmerising...
Comment: My family and friends think I've gone mad - but there's something deeply fascinating and rewarding about the entire composting process!
I've recently moved to my first home and I'm making a concerted effort to make it as green as possible and composting is a huge step in the right direction.
The wormery is idiot proof: put organic waste in the top; let the worms do their stuff; empty the compost from the bottom tray and return the empty tray to the top. Rinse, repeat. There's even a tray which collects the nutrient-rich liquid by-product of the composting process. This can be drained via a tap; diluted and used in the garden. Nothing is wasted.
A couple of things:
1. Don't overload the top tray with waste to begin with. Give the worms a chance to bed in with little and often. You can gradually increase the amount after a few weeks. (By the way, this wormery comes with a voucher that you send off and in a few days, a big bag of live worms is delivered to your door. Cool huh?)
2. As well as this wormery, consider getting a kitchen composter as "phase one" of the recycling process. These magic buckets allow the composting of items you couldn't otherwise put in a composter, e.g. meat, fish and dairy products. Waste from this can be transferred to the wormery after a week or so.
My only quibble with the wormery is that it's a little expensive - although it will probably outlast me. If councils were serious about meeting green targets, this fantastic bit of kit would be offered at a subsidised price to households.
I love the fact that my wheelie bin now takes ages to fill. If you love gardening or love the environment invest in one of these worm factories. You won't be disappointed!

Wormeries use composting worms to quickly convert kitchen and other waste into rich compost. The compost and liquid feed, once diluted, can be applied to plants and seedlings. The Can-o-Worms includes a moisture mat under a close fitting lid to help keep the worms insulated and moist. Kitchen waste is piled into the top tray where the hungry worms will congregate, consuming up to half their body weight in one day! A middle tray contains the well worked waste which the worms have mostly finished with and therefore migrated through holes in the base of the trays up to the next level. The bottom tray holds the fully composted waste, empty of worms and ready for harvesting. Simply remove the tray and empty out the rich, dark compost, relocating this empty tray onto the top of the stack. The base layer contains a sump which collects liquid plant feed, accessible via a tap. The extremely popular Can-O-Worms kit has been designed from the ground up as a superior wormery. It's innovative layered structure lets you see at a glance how the worms are doing and makes it easy to harvest the compost. It is made from re-cycled plastic and includes: Can-O-Worms housing Bedding block 1000 native composting worms 6 litres lime mix 6 litres worm treat 1 moisture mat 1 instruction booklet Dimensions; 50cm diameter x 73cm high.
