Which accessories for your wormery?
A wormery works very well on its own, with just your kitchen scraps and a little cardboard. But a few simple accessories make day-to-day care much easier, especially if you want to save time or correct a minor imbalance straight away. None of them is essential from the outset: it is better to add them gradually, according to the needs you actually encounter.
For bedding and moisture
The hemp mat (available in several shapes to suit your model) keeps the active tray moist and limits the spread of fruit flies. The coconut fibre block makes an excellent stock of ready-to-use bedding, handy to keep nearby for longer absences. To start a new wormery in an already balanced environment, the natural fibre substrate is an effective replacement for cardboard. Finally, a simple spray bottle is all you need to refresh bedding that is drying out, particularly in summer.
For regulating acidity
RegulaWorm rebalances the pH of the substrate when daily additions make it acidic — the most frequently used accessory day to day, as useful for preventing bad smells as for avoiding worms escaping because of an overly acidic environment. To know exactly when to step in rather than guessing, the pH test gives you a reliable reading in just a few minutes.
For feeding and stimulating your worms
WormFood is a protein-rich pelleted feed, ideal for feeding your worms when you have no kitchen scraps to hand — particularly practical while you are on holiday. WORMboost is a liquid stimulant that encourages your worms' reproduction and appetite. To dose these two products accurately, a simple measuring spoon stops you adding too much or too little.
For maintenance and harvesting
The mini mixing rake lets you gently stir the top of the bedding when feeding, without harming your worms or getting your hands dirty. And to make the most of your compost tea too, the juice collector fits under the tap to catch it cleanly rather than letting it drain away.
For sorting properly in the kitchen
Storing your kitchen scraps before taking them to the wormery is more pleasant with a proper compost caddy rather than a makeshift container: with its lid closed, it keeps odours and flies at bay until your next addition, which is handy if your wormery is not right there in the kitchen.
Willy's tipEmptying the compost caddy 2 to 3 times a week, with a little carbon-rich material already mixed in, stops it becoming damp and starting to decompose before it even reaches the wormery.
The all-in-one pack to get off to a good start
If you would rather not choose accessory by accessory, the 5-accessory pack brings together the essentials in a single order: 2 hemp mats, 1 kg of WormFood, 1 kg of RegulaWorm, a bottle of WORMboost and a mini mixing rake — everything you need to get off to a good start without placing multiple orders.
In summary
None of these accessories is essential for your wormery to work properly, but each one meets a specific need — moisture, acidity, feeding or maintenance — to make everyday life easier and keep your worms in the best possible conditions.
