Make your own wormery

This tier based wormery is made out of four old tyres

1. Create a base from old bricks or flagstones (must be flat and with as few cracks as possible). Place a heavy Sunday newspaper on top of the bricks.
2. Stuff four old tyres with newspapers. Pile the tyres on top of each other, with the first tyre on the Sunday newspaper.
3. Put some scrunched up paper or cardboard in the bottom to soak up any excess liquid.
4. Fill the tyre wormery with organic material (semi-composted is best).
5. Only use kitchen waste if the unit is properly sealed (no gaps or cracks).
6. Add worms (tiger or brandling these are much redder than the common garden earth worm).
7. Use a piece of board weighed down with bricks as a lid. The lid must be big enough to stop rain getting in.
8. Harvest a tyres worth of fertilizer roughly every 6-8 weeks (during warm months).
