When you see a picture of a wormery you imagine worms working in the food waste at the top and lovely worm-free compost underneath. Not so! There are worms at all levels, including in the trays full of compost/worm shit (depending on how you view it!).
I read last year that the method you use is lifting the lid off, allowing the worms to hide from the light by disappearing into the tray below, and then lift the top tray off, and let the same thing happen to the tray below, emptying the ones that are ready.
I tried this today, and it doesn't seem to work! Picking worms out of the compost before putting it in the pots I am transferring the plum trees into takes ages, so the shed doesn't get tidied. Hopefully next Sunday.
The bindweed beginning to grow - I get it coming in from one of my neighbours, having successfully got rid of it in my garden by continually pulling it up for years and years.
