In brief
  • The team is taking a summer break and will be back on 22 August.
  • The website remains open to take your orders.
  • A well-prepared wormery can cope with a few weeks on its own.

Willy and the whole Moutta team are taking their summer break! We'll be back and ready to get going again from 22 August. In the meantime, the website remains open to take your orders.

What about your wormery while you're on holiday?

Good news: a well-prepared wormery copes perfectly well on its own for a few weeks. Before you leave:

  • give your worms one last meal, without overdoing it;
  • add some torn brown cardboard or dry material to balance the moisture;
  • empty the liquid collection tray and leave the tap open over a container;
  • put the wormery somewhere cool and shady.

You'll find all the details on our page how to look after your wormery while you're on holiday.

Beware of heatstroke

Compost worms don't like intense heat. In the height of summer, a wormery left in the sun can quickly turn into an oven. Keep it in the coolest room, out of direct sunlight.

For more tips, read our page protecting your wormery from the cold and the heat.

Enjoy your holidays, watch out for sunburn… and look after your Willys!
