NIsrene --
    Sure, but my only additional expense (I would have needed a bin anyway given my
situation) was the worms.  FYI, vermicomposting is promoted heavily (with subsidization)
here in Alameda County, CA (Oakland area), so many thousands (probably tens of thousands,
although I can't remember the statistic) have it.  The main reason it seems good to me is
that in an area with vector issues (rats; I'm quite near the Bay) it seems to get rid of
what the rats like more quickly (although this is of course no substitute for a tight
lid).

Dear Steve,
The reason I am unimpressed with worm composting is because I have tried Mary Appelhoff's
program twice and it didn't work. I just compost now in my yard, it is simple and you
don't have to buy anything.
I object to her self-serving marketing e-mails.
Has vermi-composting worked for you?
