It's basically OK .... except for the following para which is too clumsy for my liking:
'The worms used cannot be the ordinary garden earthworms, Lumbricus terrestris, which are soil dwellers and would not survive in a wormery. Used instead are a mixture of British native species of composting worms called tiger worms (Eisenia andrei), red worms (Eisenia foetida) or brandlings (Dendrabeana venera). These can be obtained from most fishing shops or by mail-order from worm bin manufacturers or organic gardening suppliers.'
Please could you change it to: >

These can be obtained from most fishing shops or by mail-order from worm bin manufacturers or organic gardening suppliers.

(Yes, the same, except that the bit about obtaining the worms from fishing shops has been moved from a footnote to the main text, which is better- )
