Garden Waste in a wormery

Hi,
Our freeholder for our property is dead against a compost heap in our
shared garden as she thinks it _will_ attract rats, even though we know
that if it is properly managed we will be able to prevent them.
Anyway, this has lead us to wanting a sealed unit type system and are
seriously considering a wormery. Does anybody know if you can put
garden waste into a wormery, or whether they are restricted to kitchen
matter. We don't have a lawn (yet) but do have hedge trimmings, weeds,
potplants and will have some vegetables.
Your advice is really appreciated.
Best regards,
Kehan
In reality a compost heap usually ends up being a wormery towards the end of
its cycle.
You would need a huge wormery to take all garden and kitchen waste.
Why not just use a sealed bin, with a few small holes in the base, as a
compost bin.
I have yet to see a domestic wormery that produces anything more than a few
litres of useable stuff per month.
