The Worm Inn
For the past several years, we have been a "traditional" compost family, meaning that we have a compost bin setup in the back yard, and regularly send most of our table scraps, lawn clippings, leaves, and other garden debris there. It's a great way to reduce how much we throw away into the garbage system, and it provides great fertilizer for our garden. Some of our friends, though don't have a big enough outdoor space to compost, so they have turn to vermicomposting, or worm composting. It's a great way for people who live in condos or apartments to help reduce their garbage output, or to have pets if their building doesn't allow cats or dogs.
This little device moves the vermicomposting from a plastic bin in the basement or under the kitchen sink to a more prominent, conversation-starting location, and may even make it easier to remember to compost. It also seems like it'd be easier to collect the worm castings from this setup compared to a regular plastic bin, and the less you have to handle your worms, probably the better for everyone.
As a side note: I've never actually used this product, and I'm getting any kickback from the company for touting the product. (Although, if they WANT to send me a commission, I wouldn't turn it down.)

That's interesting. I thought the product in the picture was a backpack. Looks like a pretty stylish way to do kitchen scrap composting.
