bathtub worm bins in operation composting more than #200 of veggies per week (from local farm market) and who knows how many pizzas and coffee grounds (from a truckstop).
My outdoor compost heat (lasagna style), at that time, was 6' wide, 30' long and 3' deep. I brought a complete truckload of leftovers from a caterer at a weekend horse show and it all went into the heap.
Here are some photos from my Worm Factory 360 in my garage today.
The cabinet was built for the factory and is insulated with 1" Styrofoam and heated with a 60 watt bulb. Worms need to stay warm to be productive. This year there is a very healthy population and, even with just the two of us, they seem to be happy with what we offer them. I'm not adding as much newspaper as I could, but the composted leaves offer similar quantities of carbon.
