The Sunday just gone we were given a small water bottle full of worm liquid AKA worm wee or if you want the technical name, leachate. This supposedly good liquid fertilizer (which needs to be diluted probably one to ten parts water depending on how strong it is) is basically the run off from a wormery and different from worm tea that you hear about which is a brew made using worm castings. We will keep you updated on how we get on with it.

We did a google search for wormeries which took us to this great article about alternative composting methods from the great Bob Flowerdew on his website. There is a little bit on worms but there’s far more on other novel methods. Have a look here for the article. Through this we found a great page of links of Bob’s gardening articles called Best of Bob. Have a butcher’s here for some informative reading!
