Has anybody constructed their own wormery? If so, where did they acquire the brandlings?

The worms we have were much easier to find than that, & what a lot of people don't realise is that you can use the red ones from an existing compost heap, not the normal white ones you find when digging the garden though...

Young Sparhawk spent a lovely afternoon furtling through the compost armed with a plastic tub for his 50p that afternoon :wink:, 50p for the tub not per worm that is... :lol:
the luxuries of civilisation satisfy only those wants which they themselves create...

You can buy them in tubs from ebay. Search for compost worms or tiger worms or brandling worms.
