Is this environmentally friendly? You are introducing foreign worms to the environment, it could be devastating if the worms leave the garden and into other environments. Best to use the worms already in your garden.

I made several of these myself, using small black rubbish bins from the variety shop.
I forget how much I paid for the bins, but I suspect its considerably cheaper than the commercial versions.
The bins had nice metal clips to keep the lids on. The sides were almost vertical, rather than conical going out at the bottom, but the worms didn't seem to mind !
I just had to cut the base out of the bin, and drill a load of holes in the side.
The worms loved it.
However, one problem with these is that rodents will do anything to get to the worms, and the will dig down, and bite through the plastic starting with the holes near the surface.
I notice your commercial in ground worm farm has holes near the surface, so it would be susceptible to this as well.
I ended up having to buy some chicken wire, and dig around the worm farm, then put the chicken wire around the outside, so that even if the mice etc, were able to gnaw the hole, it was impossible to get though the chicken wire.
