The Worm-Inn
Perhaps you’ve entertained the idea of worm composting but don’t have access to a suitable outdoor space. If that’s the case, consider doing it indoors with Nomad Needles’ Worm-Inn, which is essentially a mesh bag designed to facilitate continuous flow vermicomposting.
The way it works is pretty simple: deposit your food scraps with a mixture of cardboard bedding. The worms (which are placed in the bottom of the bag) move upward, digest the microbial waste and leave their castings behind, which can then be used for fertilizer. The Worm-Inn has a mesh cover that is attached with Velcro, so there’s little to no odor. It’s the perfect invention for wannabe indoor vermicomposters.

But doesn't it smell?
I'm in a bit of a bind as a resident in a Patterson Park area rowhome. I'm afraid rats would get into outdoor composte, but something like this would smell.

According to the crafter who makes these, "there is NO odor due to the top and bottom ventilation access, and by depositing only organic, biodegradable matter (no meat, oils, dairy or chemicals)."
