httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFCW2X9OZ8 Woohoo! I just made a new worm bin. I'm going to go ahead and call it a "Bentley Bin", which I named after Bentley Christie of http://www.redwormcomposting.com .

I'll be posting updates once I get my worms, which should be in about a week.

If you were going to get this one, I would look for the newer version. Either way, go Dave. Nice work on the video!
