Surely it dependa on the size of the wormery?[/i][/color]

well yes of course, but generally wormeries tend to be on the smaller
size, if you had enough space for a mega-wormery (even if it worked
well?) then a compost heap would, probably be a better idea.

I disagree, many industrial sized composters are using worms rather than compost. i find wormeries better because if you process a great deal the humus supplied by wormeries is more processed and therefore encourages less slaters/woodlice. Also it makes a better base for potting mix and if you catch the liquid run off there's plenty of pottash rich fertilizer supplied for free.
