Default In with the worms....

into the compost that is.

1000 litre "Carboy" (plastic with the top cut off) 3/4 full of garden
waste, waste kitchen greenery, soil and horse poo. No normal route of
escape other than birds.

250 worms added about 10" from the top yesterday. (£7 delivered)

Now lets see what results are produced in a months time....

Didn't have them last year and fairly good mulch/fertiliser was produced
although it took 2 years from scratch so perhaps the voracious critters
will munch more down for me to use end of this year on the veg patch.

Not quite a "Wormery" but more like a Worm Playground.

I do hope you have some way to drain off all the lovely liquid (fertilizer)
that will be produced or it will get too wet for the worms.
