Can’t seem to access your site. Is there a problem?

Many Thanks
Great site.

Apologies for the confusion. You first of all work with the bottom box – the one with a single hole. Add bedding and the vegetable scraps as they arise until that box is full. You should put the single lid you saved on top of that box. When the box is full take the lid off and put the second box with more holes on top. They should stack neatly together. Polystyrene boxes usually do. Once you start filling this box up the worms will start traveling up through the many holes you have made in the bottom. Now that you are using the second box you can put the lid on top of the second box. Once this box is full, take the lid off and put the third box on top. Again start filling the third box up with material and put the lid back on top. By the time the third box is full, the first box, the one with only one hole should be full of worm castes and ready to use. Take this box out, empty the worm casts on a plastic sheet, remove any worms you find in there and place back in the box. Put the box back at the bottom of the stack and start filling up with more kitchen scarps and bedding. By the time this box is full, the second box should be ready to use and you can then empty this box in the same way, being careful to retain any worms you find when emptying. When this box is full you can empty the top box, and so on. The worm castes themselves can be used to top up the soil in your house plant pots, added directly to the soil, or mixed with other compost and soil to make a rich potting compost.
