Can't emphasise enough how easy these are to maintain, their worthiness and how little space they take. Can do it on a balcony.

Ecologically, they are fantastic as they give back more than they take. They don't smell unless you feed them unsuitable material. The worms can be fattened for fishing bait (my kids hate this, even though we're all keen fisher-persons).Can hardly "name or identify" worms in a worm-farm.

Also,between the compost and worm farms, we have cut our use of the weekly "wheelie trash bin" to once a month at most.

Also use my office shredder to "feed" both the compost and worm farm.

It doesn't require huge changes but creates huge changes.

Try it. Far cheaper than buying potting mix and fertiliser at the nursery.

Ask if you want advice. Will do my best.
