Fortunately, that doesn't happen. My city, Guelph , has been a global leader in waste management. So even my mouldy cheese and meat scraps go into a transparent green garbage bag destined to become clean landfill. Still, I hate to see all my organic waste being trucked away. So now that the weather is turning cold and my gardening heels are itching indoors, I've started to think about hoarding some garbage for myself.
Worms can turn waste into fertilizer in a matter of days rather than months.
They can work on a small volume at one time, so you won't need much space for your worm composter. And they can prevent your garbage from producing smells and attracting insect pests, so they can work indoors. No, they won't crawl around the kitchen or sneak into your bedroom at night. They like dark, damp places with lots of vegetable scraps to eat. If you give them a happy place, they'll stay there.
