I've had compost bins for many years and in the last 12 months have been
experimenting with commercially bought worm farms.
Dog poo has little value in a compost bin and medicines fed to dogs
can kill worms in a worm farm so dog poo is best sent to the garbage bin.
Reln Can o worms I'm not familiar with so please supply further info.
Normally with a compost bin when you cut the lawn you empty the cuttings
straight into the compost bin. If you are starting up a worm farm inside a
compost bin be advised the heat of the new material could kill the
existing
worms, so the new material should first reside in a different container
for
at least 2 weeks before adding to your worm farm.
Other things to consider, compost bins are often setup in full sun which
would be to hot for a worm farm.
Hope that gives you something to think about,
Erik.
