This could also attract flies and possibly vermin. Remove and dispose of excess or undigested food. Wait until the worms start digesting the top layer of food before adding further waste. Keep the wormery out of direct sunlight as it may get too hot for the worms. A shady north-facing wall is a good position for the summer. A wormery is relatively easy to establish though a few points need to be considered. Conditions required

Suitable food waste includes tea bags (plastic-free ones), banana skins, vegetable peelings, coffee grounds and eggshells. It's probably easiest to buy the worms you need from an online supplier. Shops that sell fishing bait also regularly carry the correct species. The most common species sold is Eisenia fetida, which has many common names including tiger worm, red worm, brandling worm and red wriggler. You may also find Dendrobaena veneta, or European nightcrawler. Hi BBK – sounds like a strange “creature” for sure. Do you have a worm bin? Where are these things coming from? If you are using a worm composting bin and the worms are crawling out all over the place they are likely “Blue Worms” (Perionyx). But I get the feeling you are not a worm composter (correct me if I am wrong about that). Blind snake is a reptile – and I am not sure why you would have many of them in your house.You simply follow the steps above to clean and chop your worms, then mix your groundbait as you would normally, and add a small amount of chopped worms to your groundbait as you scoop it into your feeder Organic waste usually has a high moisture content. If the lid is kept on, dry conditions are unlikely to occur. Add water only if the wormery appears dry. If the waste is not being eaten, feeding should be stopped for a few days until the worms start to work through the top layer of the composting material

If thinking about keeping wormeries in the kitchen, utility room or on the balcony, consider that when neglected they can sometimes produce odours The mitochondrial genetic characteristics of the Irish population of E. fetida could be the result of reproductive isolation, so suggests that this sample may constitute an unrecognized species or subspecies of E. fetida.

Hints and tips on using maintaining your wormery

Chopped up worms also make a superb fish-attracting additive for your groundbait mix. Bream especially will be attracted to a pile of groundbait laced with many small worm pieces, with their juices escaping into the water. Fishing with chopped worms

Another interesting tidbit gleaned from Edwards and Bohlen (1996) – there is apparently a species of earthworm known as the “squirter earthworm” ( Didymogaster sylvaticus) that can shoot coelomic fluid as far as 30 cm!! A well-maintained wormery shouldn't smell, and can be kept indoors if required. If put outdoors, consider where you position it, as it needs some protection from the elements. Placing the composter against a wall or fence will help shelter it from too much sun or rain. When roughly handled, a redworm exudes a pungent liquid, thus the specific name fetida meaning " foul-smelling". This is presumably an antipredator adaptation. [13] Close-up of E. fetida with visible bristles Related species [ edit ] They will not tolerate extreme acidity and dislike being waterlogged because this restricts their supply of air Not that you likely would have wanted to test this out, but according to Edwards and Bohlen (1996), Eisenia fetida (the Red Worm) gets its name from the fact that its coelomic fluid smells like garlic (‘fetid’ basically means foul smelling).E. fetida worms are native to Europe, but have been introduced (both intentionally and unintentionally) to every other continent except Antarctica.
