contemplating compost

i must admit, even though i dislike cooking, i like being back in a place where i can make food for myself. i am perfectly content to eat a salad every day and just make some meat on the side. i would eat pasta everyday, but that's just dangerous.

this was lunch today. and as i threw out my banana peel, i got to thinking about setting up a compost/worm farm when we get into the apartment. i did a quick search about vermicomposting and it seems pretty straight forward after you get it all set up. i wonder if we would have to keep them inside or whether it would generate enough heat or be insulated enough so that we could keep a bin on the balcony? i will have to see if there are any stores around here that sell worms and might have some tips!
