Hi Luke,
I have for the past few years had two that I constructed from the 60
Litre rubbish bins with their lids, similar to what I once saw on Don
Burkes show some years back, although he only used buckets.
Just drilled heaps of 25mm holes in bottom and side and the buried
these bins to about 100mm of the top in the ground.
The worms seem to like the stable temperature and can come and go as
they please, and do their aerating thing in the soil surrondint the
pots.
Probably have to empty the castings 1 ~ 2 times per year. Juice just
leaches out into surrounding soil, doing hopefully everything some
good.
Just use the castings in your garden or pot plants.
