Appreciation post: I hit 20 pounds of finished compost in my 5-gallon bucket

I mean, I started this worm bin in my studio apartment six months ago just to see if I could do it. I kept a little notebook and weighed the scraps going in. This morning I pulled out the finished stuff and it was exactly 20 pounds. That's a whole bag of potting soil I don't have to buy. It just felt like a real win, you know? Makes all the little bits of banana peels and coffee grounds feel worth it. Anyone else track their output and get surprised by the numbers?

My buddy's worm bin made more dirt than his whole garden needed last year.

Nice! I had that happen once. I just bagged the extra compost in old soil bags and gave it to neighbors. Honestly they were all super happy to get free good dirt for their flower pots.
