sarah,

the fabric wouldmostly be there so teh soil doesnt fall through the  
holes of the crate.
most of all rudi, our agricultural engineer adviser said, there needs  
to be substance. he recommended to add about 1/3 of soil to the  
crate, so the worms  will be better protected. if you dont have soil  
you can just buy flower soil, like for potting. the units we have are  
just not really ideal since they are quite small. it is an experiment...
