The Community Action Group project has been experimenting and has produced a fully functioning DIY wormery model for under £15!

Using a few plastic boxes, a water butt tap, some old newspaper and a drill you can construct a fantastic wormery to make compost and fertilizer, and reduce your food waste all in one go.

All the materials used, including the all important worms, were recycled or bought from local shops, such as the Orinoco scrap store.
