Maybe Mr Bill . But when I put it in some vinegar it makes tiny little bubbles. From what I have read that is not good in aquaponics.

I have been reading this thread about replacing fish with worms Worms instead of fish? Vermiponics.
mostly arguing about what poor people want to eat, fish ,worms,vegs,or proteine biscuts. However there are some good ideas about adding a system to your GB to directly feed the worms kitchen scraps.

so I thought I would give it a go, I have worms in my compost bin ready to go, and some 90mm pvc pipe.
