Thanks Erik,
I'm simply after an idea of how to build my own worm farm eg what have
people in Australia used. I've had my worm farm for a while now and know
what should and should not be put in one, (btw my worms love my dog poo).
I
was just hoping someone here had a design they've implemented either using
a
old petrol drum or something similar. I'm not interested in puchasing
another worm farm as I'm sure I could use scrap materials to build
something
similar. FYI go to www.reln.com.au for information on the Can O Worms worm
farm.
