I was not sure where to post this so Admin/Mod please move if required.
Anyway, my chicks just love eating worms, they take it as far as diving in around my spade when I am digging risking neck and wing to grab every worm they see! So I decided a wormery may be in order, so after some research I discovered one may be beneficial for several reasons:
1. To be able to grab a handful every so often to feed to the chickens.
2. Hopefully provide some good compost.
3. If it works on a small scale I could maybe build a raised bed wormery that could help break up the clay soil we are constantly battling with.
So here it is:
Two problems though:
1. I cannot source Canadian Red worms here so I have been buying whatever has been available in the Hunting/Fishing shops.
2. It is so hot here at present that I have placed the set up in the barn which seems the coolest place so I am not sure if it will all work.
Any advice or suggestions will be welcomed.
I will also apologize to any members of the "Worms have Rights" group but my chickens need their treats!!
