Just looked on FB for Hotbin composting and it threw up a comment of mine from 2013 when I'd hoped to win one.
"Don't live in sin, It all goes in, Its win, win, win, with a HOTBIN!!"

I did have a homemade wormery but they kept escaping so l gave up and dumped them in a compost bin they soon multiply in there.

Yes I've seen that offer Scarlet, but I've yet to understand how a green joanna is classed as a hotbin, as any pictures or drawings I've seen of them show very little insulation. In reality I can't really justify any more compost bins, hot or otherwise.

I dump organic waste including weeds in a corner of the plot and the brandling worms just appear? Like wise with hoss muck mulches, the worms just appear?
I have a dalek. Brandling worms turned up in it a few years ago and now there are so many, they've spread around the garden and get into all the plant pots, even if the pots are raised up on feet. In small pots they are a nuisance, once in they can't seem to work out how to get out. They seem programmed to work their way upwards, and even climb up my plastic cloches and sit on the top of them. They also congregate on the underside of the dalek lid.

Have any of you ever tried to make your own hotbin?
