Thanks for the replies to my first post... I thought I'd add a new threadjust to show what I've done so far, so I can ask questions and also give insight to others who might want to try it. Learn from my experiences and what works or doesn't.
This is the composter. I just bought the materials last week and received my worms yesterday. I ordered 1/2 pound from a local 'environmental' shop.
As you can see, it's a standard Rubbermaid plastic tote with a lid, measuring 24x16x8.75" according to the label. I've photographed it on my kitchen counter so you can get an idea of the size. I'm a single guy living alone (except for my dog Zoë) and I figure I generate enough worm-food for this size container, mostly because I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I'd like to keep it in the kitchen, so we'll see about the smell as things go along. No animal protein (meat, dairy) or oils.
