Instructions

1. Begin by washing and drying your chosen jar or container. Then place the
container into the plastic tray.
2. Pour in some gravel or small stone - this will help to drain any excess water.
3. Then add alternate layers of sand and soil.
4. Continue adding layers of sand and soils until you have nearly
filled the container to the top. Each layer should be about 2cm
deep. There needs to be about 5cm of space at the top of the
container.
5. Add just a little water so that the top layer of soil is damp.
6. Then find some earthworms to put into your wormery!
Carefully place the worms onto the top layer of soil.
7. Next, gently place some leaves, plants or flowers and some fruit and
vegetable peelings on the top.
8. The poke some holes into the lid and place onto the container.
