Yep, if you don't have a worm bin or two, you are missing out. Worms are very efficient converters of waste to worm mass. The castings are the best soil you can get for conventional gardening, and the liquid that comes out "worm tea" works wonders on just about any house plant.

I have 3 bins in the corner of my basement. Very little work, and you'd never know it was there. No smell, no noise. I'll be soliciting garbage soon.
