Default 25 litre drum composter

The message
from "Franz Heymann" contains these words:

Have you thought of making a drum into a wormbin instead of a compost
heap? It would dispose of all the kitchen waste fater than a small
compost tub; you'd get compost and liquid fertiliser from it. If you
have space for it in a shed, garage, basement or sheltered carport that
would be ideal as the worms should be kept free of frost or sweltering
sun.


We produce betwen 1 and 2 lbs of vegetable waste daily.


You really should learn to cook properly.

How large a bin
would I have to install in the garage to decompose, say, at the rate of 2
lbs per day?


One's plenty, it's the worm size that's crucial.
