Wigglers

I set up my wormery on Friday evening, which proved to be very simple. I then spent the next day or so worrying that the initial worm bedding material was too wet and the worms were drowning, or that I'd added too much waste in one go as nothing was happening to it. However, by last night there was clear indication of worm activity amongst the food scraps, so all seems to be well.

I am sure my wife thinks I'm a bit mad as I keep on checking under the lid to see how they're doing. I haven't given them all names yet though. I think I shall use the collective name Geoff for all of them, as they're a bit difficult to tell apart.

Introducing Geoff the worms.

Hello Clive
Love the name Geoff. Did you name them after the Geoff who inspired the set up video on this months Wiggly Wigglers home page? or is it just a coincidence!
All looks well, but hope you left the lid off to ensure all Geoffs went away from the light.
best
Heather from Wigglys

Not specifically, but I did see your set up video before attempting mine - although instructions with the can-o-worms were very simple and clear.

I did indeed allow the worms time to burrow into their new home, and they seem to be getting on fine now.

Welcome to the wiggly community! There are lots of us out here. Yes, some of us do give them names - I know someone who has one called Steve McQueen - coz he keeps escaping!

I read about your worms. Lovely. Maybe you and your readers might be interested in reading my blog. I’m an impulsive gardener with an allotment and I live near Richmond Park, London. I have serious moodswings and a lot of moral issues to resolve. I am interested in food, photography and writing. I look forward to hearing from you.
