Default Wormery: Has anyone got any ideas for making one?

Hi,
I'm interested in composting and have been told that wormeries are a
good way to start.
I have looked on line but they cost between £60 & £100 for the starter
sets so cant afford this.

Has anyone got any ideas regarding making one.

Thanks

(I have a fishing tackle shop round the courner so have an easy source
of worms)

Thanks

You should by now have had enough info from others to design your own
wormery.
It's fun but do nor expect to get much out of even a large wormery.
In my case I use the traditional compost heaps for all waste except the
kitchen stuff, which seems to attract vermin. I just use an old bin with a
few drainage holes and chuck in any small red worms I find in the compost
heaps.
The only advantage of a wormery is that you can keep a small neat one in the
kitchen and alarm any visitors
