I have a worm bin in the basement, but I wonder if that is too cold for them. They seem to be doing fine, but don't eat nearly as much as I thought they would.
Are you just composting your garden waste? Where are all your kitchen scraps? At the end of the winter my compost bin is frozen solid and almost completely full of stuff. I just cracked it a week or two ago and managed to stir it, so it should start cooking again. Vermont is obviously extremely cold in the winter; others might pull it off but probably too cold for an average sized home bin not to freeze at some point.
