This is exactly what I was looking for! I’ve been wanting to compost for a while now and was looking into ways to do it while living in an apartment. I was considering the bokashi bins, but it seems that you have to still dig the resulting stuff into the soil, so that makes things a bit difficult when the balcony is frozen for half the year. Worms, though, that I can do :-) I don’t think I ever outgrew that childhood phase of being fascinated by worms and bugs… having an excuse to keep a whole farm of them will be cool! Thanks for the inspiration! Have you posted an update on this that I’ve missed, or are you planning to update any time soon? I’d really like to know your experience with them since setting this up.

I have a worm farm that I built using rubbermaid containers in my kitchen and as long as you cover the food scraps it doesn’t smell. I originally had it in the basement but because it was so cold down there they were kinda sluggish, so two years ago I brought it upstairs and they happily munch away on all of the vegetable scraps. (I live in Canada so having the worm bin outside for most of the year is not an option)

I had no idea these even existed! What sort of temperature range can the worms withstand? I’d love to put one of these in my backyard, but only if they can withstand our (relatively mild) Atlanta winters.

You sound like a new mother :-) Did you do the ‘Save The Worms’ graphic? – it’s very cool.

WEll, I didn’t know they ate the bacteria that accumulate on the food as it decomposes.
