Worm castings harvested for adding to the seedling potting mix. #GrowYourOwn #HomeGrown #Worms #Gardening #Allotment

Overhead view of the opened wormbox with the leave covering moved to one side. Harvested wormcasts are in a yellow trug and have been shovelled out with a mini spade which is lying next to the wormbox. Sawdust and wood shavings cover the pathways surrounding the wormbox.

A wormbox buried in an allotment plot with a wooden lid fashioned from an old fence long ago painted blue but now faded. The worm box itself is made from pallet wood and covered wire mesh to keep wildlife out. Veg scraps and other organic matter worm food are added weekly to one side of the box. When one side is full to the top of castings the worm food is added to the other side of the box. The worms will migrate over to where the food is leaving very few worms still in the wormcast side when they are harvested.
