Didy acts as my adorable assistant in showing off a strange and unusual passion of mine -- Worms!
This plain looking bin is our vermicomposter. It's currently empty, but I just ordered a fresh pound of worms that should be here tomorrow. Vermicomposting is an easy way to help the environment, even if you live in a city apartment like we do. The worms will happily eat both your junk mail and your food scraps, and they will give you literally the best organic fertilizer in the world -- worm castings. It's called "Black Gold" for a reason, and gardeners pay very handsomely for the stuff! Keep it for your own garden or sell off the castings and some of your excess worms to others.
Vermicomposters are very cheap to make (this one cost me 15 US dollars to make), and can be stored on your deck, patio, or even under your kitchen sink. They are extremely easy to keep and maintain.
If you'd like more information about worm keeping, feel free to drop me a note. I'm more than happy to point you to resources and answer questions. :)

its really easy just find a place and maybe box it in a little with plywood or tin so it doent blow away and let it rot. just 2 things, 1 turn it like once a week or so so it gets air and isnt compacted and 2 water it so it rots faster, not alot, but around here its usually a drought so water helps. Then just throw just about everything in there, just not meat, bones *though egg shells are good for the soil* and I dont know about news paper, have no idea if the ink will be bad for the dirt, and it takes longer then leaves to rot.
Newspaper is fine for worms, so I would think it would be fine for a hot pile. You have to shred it up and keep it damp for it to break down and to keep the worms moist. You just can't put glossy papers like something out of a magazine or inserts or cereal boxes in a worm bin...I don't know if they can go in hot piles.
