    I've got a standard type of composter bin and all I've ever done with it is put any worms I come across while sorting out the flower beds into my bin along with the weeds I've collected. Then, when I scoop some compost out of the bottom I just put any worms I see back in top. Total cost £0.00 and I still get nice compost :)

    I'm not a lover of touching sliming wiggly thingies, so I didn't consider a worm composter and so I bought a council compost bin a couple of years ago - trust me, your own garden worms work their way up into it! Plus other ugly buglies get in and help themselves to their free lunch thus breaking it down even further.

    Interesting that slugs and snails react the same way to beer as fella's ;)

    Indeed. :) Even so, I'm intrigued by these worm factory thingies and shall wander off and have a look when I have a few spare minutes.
