heaven's sake? I'd be more worried about blow-flies and their
maggots; and even they won't do you any harm. I'm even rather

_gallons_?

Composting is about fungi and bacteria, not worms..

I can only say that in my experience the rats will turn up in the
compost heap for almost
ANY kitchen scraps not just meat, and the worms in the wormery eat
pretty well any
Kitchen waste we chuck in. (we don't dispose of meat by either
method)
We have only had the wormery for maybe 3 months and have already
used
~4-5 pints and have
~10-12 pints stored for next season

I'm impressed. But not to the point of imitation!
