RECYCLING & WASTE MANAGEMENT
sufficiently to keep the wormery effective, so every couple of years new ones are added. This also helps the worm community as it will have different ages living in the compost and devouring the food waste.
As we've said those worms work hard, which means a 4m x 1.4m x 1.4m wormery unit can process around 160 litres of food waste per week.
FOOD FOR WORMS The worms can consume everyday
kitchen waste such as vegetable peelings and cooked and uncooked scraps. It might come as a surprise to know that they are also quite partial to teabags, eggshells and paper kitchen towels. They’ve even been known to tuck into newspaper as long as it is shredded first. They don’t mind which daily ‘rag’ you choose either.

• Accurate measurements of how much food waste you have recycled
• Great quality compost
• A 90% reduction in the volume of waste you produce

www.enterpriseplants.com DID YOU KNOW?
• Worms can eat the equivelent of half their body weight everyday
• Worms tighten the muscles around their bodies making them thinner, which squeezes the muscles running the length of their bodies together propelling them forward – that’s just how they roll
• Worms don’t have lungs; they take oxygen straight into their bloodstream
• If a worm is cut in half by accident, it can sometimes regrow its tail end
• Worms ingest food that has been softened by microorganisms; adding sand or limestone to ground up food can help worms to grind small particles in their muscular gullet, which compresses these together
