I really like my wormery as it's a good way to deal with kitchen scraps without attracting rats to my suburban garden and therefore upsetting my neighbours. It wouldn't be an issue if I had a bigger garden that didn't join up with anyone else's, but I definitely don't want to be that neighbour!
However, they don't eat seeds so vermicompost can result in lots of things trying to sprout left right and centre! I have a compost heap at the top of my garden, but it doesn't get hot enough to break down seeds (or indeed most of the woodier vegetation I have put on it...) I'd be very tempted by a hot bin if they weren't so pricey, as it would be a good place to put things that won't go in the wormery and don't break down quickly on a cold compost pile. However, the price definitely makes me pause. I'm wondering if I could get hold of the materials to try and make one, but I suspect I would never quite get round to it.
