Another recent internet discovery I'm trying is worm towers for composting.
I have two Worm Hiltons in the garden bed and two more will go in the new bed. I have 150mm poly pipe and use inspection caps as a lid, rather then the slightly more "happy hippy" flower pot look.

They are working great, although it is early days so they are not getting through too much compost (kitchen scraps) at the moment. I figure they'll do more once the weather warms up and they breed a bit. They have compost worms in them but the earthworms seem to like them too. The soil is teeming with them. The advantage is that I don't need to empty, rotate or see the worm farm.
Photos to come later.
