The worms used in a compost bin are different to 'yer actual garden

I have seen advice on here that one can buy them, but our compost
worms 'get themselves' into the compost bins. Could this be because
most of our bins are part on but part off the garden in that we have
concrete/bricks under them to an extent of about 80%, not by design
but by where we want to 'fit them in' to the overall picture.



One of the "cons" run by those selling wormeries is that you need to buy
special worms.

Nonsense. If you have a normal compost heap. Take a couple of bucketsful off
active compost, spread on a plastic sheet, cover with a black bin bag. leave
for 30 minutes. take off the binbag and collect the loverly brandlings
before they scurry back into the compost!
