[Lab] urban composting

[Michael Lechasseur]

Vermicomposting has worked well for me, but I haven't tried scaling it 
to a household of 5.

The winter before the Green Bin was introduced we collected 3 large 
garbage bins of compost, which would have been far too heavy for a balcony.

Although the material did compact, and the freezing seemed to accelerate 
the compostability of the material, it was too cold to actually 
decompose into compost. It was perfect for the Spring thaw though.
