“Excellent, I was able to get a replacement lid for my worm bin which is over 15 years old.”

Helpful Report

“Excellent 🐛 home, easy to assemble and a great design.”

Helpful Report

“I like the overall look and size of this bin, it fits perfectly in a corner of our garden and has adequate capacity of all our garden and kitchen waste. It was delivered in good time. However this is an expensive compost bin and the description refers to the quality of the wood etc. In fact the lid is very poorly put together and many of the wooden slats that make up the sides of the bin are split. The slotted modules makes it sound as if the slats can be moved up and down and removed easily to make turning and digging out the compost easier, which they can't. I think the description could be more accurate so as not to mislead potential purchasers on this count. Due to the size of this product, once it is assembled there is a disincentive to return it. I think given the quality of the pieces of wood I received and the fact the lid is just resting on top and doesn't fit into the bin, it is over-priced.”

“I had a small problem, sorted in no tie. Thank you.”

Helpful Report

“Great service, fast delivery and a really great product. Delivery delay was only due to the bank holiday. The only problem I had was I put the frame up indoors and couldn't get it through my door! The compost bags are huge, but very easy to put together. I'm already on my 2nd one and have recommended them to all the gardeners I know.”

“Instructions would have been helpful”

Helpful Report

Hi Susan, Thank you for your review. Our basic wormery kit doesn’t come with instructions however we have taken your advice and added them to the online product page. You can find the instructions here: https://www.guttermate.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Wormery-Guide-FINAL-Compressed.pdf Kind Regards, Original Organics

“4 Tray wormery, good design. Having separate trays is much more convenient than the "dustbin" shape. Would purchase more trays but only want them in black. It would be useful to be able to easily secure the lid in place as we live in a very windy area and have to secure the lid with a bungy cord.”

“The 190 L boxes I bought have holes on the lid, but even when locked with padlocks, the lid can still open. Otherwise, they are alright.”

Helpful Report

“Great company to deal with very friendly and helpful staff”

Helpful Report

“Took a while for the wormer to arrive and compared to the online video of the organics Md him self all my packaging was a quarter of the size as per his video. So I had to do my own research on set up and using wormery and since ordered some extra worms from another supplier.”

Helpful Report

Hello, We are sorry to hear that you struggled to set up the wormery. While the video has some benefits in helping to set up the wormery, we are looking to improve it for our customers. In the mean time, please do check out our latest wormery instruction guide which gives you all the information you will need to help setup and maintain the wormery.

“Painless ordering and very efficient in dealing with delayed delivery and our lost worm voucher. Great people.”

Helpful Report

“Some items were missed from the order. They were sent later. The delivery takes long time - approx. a week. No info during ordering highlighting this.”

Helpful Report

Hi Hanna, We are sorry to hear about your experience. Items were missed from your order due to an issue in our system which we have now rectified and delivery was slower than normal due to an unprecedented demand over the Easter bank holiday. We hope you enjoy your products and if you have any further queries please get in touch. Kind Regards, Original Organics

“Good product and packaging.”

Helpful Report

“Took a while for delivery and poor communication on progress of delivery. When delivered the 300 litre water butt was well packaged and in excellent condition to put together. However, it only has one support strut in it so butt has buckled slightly, now it is full of water, so tap is angled inwards making it hard to use. Tap also of poor quality construction has it twists in its body has you try and use it. For the money it has not lived up to expectations and I will wait and see if it lasts under the pressure of being full. Will not purchase this again from this company.”

Helpful Report

Hello, We are very sorry to hear that. This one of our most popular water butts and this is the first occasion we have been informed about this issue. We will look into what we can do to resolve this issue for you. We hope to source a tap which is angled away from the water butt, which will make sure that it does not angle inwards. We will get in touch with you as soon as possible to provide a solution. Kind regards, Original Organics

“Expensive delivery charge”

Helpful Report

“First rate service. Cost of shipping was a bit expensive and half the cost of the products which are excellent.”

Helpful Report

“Service was prompt and information clear and helpful.”

Helpful Report

“I absolutely love Green Earth Organics. We opted for the plastic free seasonal Irish Veg box. Apart from knowing that we are getting to eat organically grown Irish vegetables at a fair price, it has really pushed us into trying new ways to cook vegetables as we have to work with what the box gives us! Over the last month we have had Turnip curry, turnip dauphinois, spiced shepherds pie with a turmeric and chili mashed parsnip topping, pickled beetroot and anchovies and chestnut mushroom risotto.”
