Default Wormeries - are they worth having?


Forgive the novice question. I did look at the FAQ for info on
composting but the relevant link seems to be obsolete/dead.

My question is about wormeries. Do they really make a lot of sense for
the average vegetable gardener? It has often occurred to me that they
might be expending a lot of nutrients into the raising of worms rather
than the raising of plants! I note that they create some useful
plant-feed liquid. However, if I primarily want fibrous, nutrient-rich
compost, would I be better advised to use a simple traditional compost
bin or compost heap?

Many thanks,

JD
