Apartment Composting. Anyone? Anyone?

Xander and I have been talking about composting for about three years. I don't know what has taken us so long to get going, but now that we have two extra mouths eating loads of sweet potato and avocado and banana, we feel like we really need to start soon. We're tired of putting completely biodegradable stuff in sealed plastic bags. It just seems silly.

We're thinking of going the worms-in-a-bin route. Anyone out there done that? Tips? Tricks? I really liked the suggestions in the following video, but I feel like I want to do a bit more reading and research before we jump in.

Hey Faber Family, I haven't done this myself, but my friends did compost in their NYC apt! If there are specific questions, I would be happy to get you some answers or get you in contact with them. Unfortunately, this is not a great time since they are doing the post-doc shuffling to find new apt, schools, etc. in their new city... but I can try! I know that they did the worms in a bin... like a large rectangular bin and they'd dump into the top and I think they cut a place to take out the dirt... GOOD LUCK!
