The worms used in a compost bin are different to 'yer actual garden worms'
so where do they come from?

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.

I have noticed the same thing about the worms but as they make great
compost I'm not bothered where they come from. Our 'dalek' (provided
by the Council by the way) sits on soil. Someone on the BBC group was
complaining about masses of small flies in hers when she takes off the
lid but I don't have that problem and there is no smell at all.
