From old bathtub to wormery. The bricks and bits of old paving are holding down a fine mesh screen in a vain attempt to keep the rats out. The plug hole is blocked up with a piece of paving and a large pebble beneath it leaving no gaps.
This replaces my last large wormery made from a garden storage chest left by the previous owners. It gave a couple of years of use but fell apart. Hopefully this will be a bit more sturdy!
@Kimberley have you come across in-the-ground wormeries before? I set 2 up last year but have been rubbish at actually putting food waste in them!
Edit: I just noticed this is actually set in the ground!
@paulcox It's raised above the ground, it just looks that way in the photo. It's actually raised on a pallet and a couple of bricks to level it as the ground is sloped.
I've used trench wormeries but not the container type. I quite like trench systems for building up compost to use in-situ next season.
