Bubble House Wormeries

Whether you are a single person living alone, a family with children, vegetarian or meat eater, or a business producing food or green waste, there is a better way of dealing with your organic waste than throwing it in the bin. Garden owner, allotment holder, flat dweller, business or educational establishment, this is the one component of rubbish that you can recycle yourselves, at source, with no need for it to be transported else where to be dealt with.

Earthworms have worked tirelessly for millenia aerating, tilling and fertilising the soil. The practise of vermiculture is at least a century old but fell out of fashion when the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides became commonplace last century. Their use led to the destruction of earthworms on a colossal scale. Vermiculture is now being revived worldwide with diverse ecological objectives such as waste management, soil detoxification, soil regeneration and sustainable agriculture.

We are lucky in our area to have a local 'green' business (based just over the south Shropshire border in Worcestershire) called Bubblehouse Worms who breed our own worms as they don’t like the idea of them being imported, and they are hand harvested so that they reach the customers in peak condition. These wonderful creatures will gobble up your food waste and turn it into nature’s finest fertiliser, worm casts.

Bubblehouse sell a wide range of products for managing your waste and improving your garden but perhaps the most iconic is the stacked wormery which incorperates a pretty plant pot on the top.  This way you can keep worms, process food waste and grow your own whilst you're at it! They are ideal for places without access to a garden or for anyone who wants to be more sustainable.  For more information visit www.bubblehouseworms.com
