Hit 100 pounds of scraps from one tiny kitchen, whoa

I moved into a 400 square foot studio in Chicago last March and started a worm bin under my sink, just to see if I could handle it. I keep a little scale to weigh what goes in, mostly because I'm nosy about my own habits. After 11 months I added it all up and got 103 pounds of veggie peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells, which honestly shocked me. I thought I threw away maybe half that, but the math doesn't lie. The bin never smells bad if I bury stuff deep enough, and the worms have multiplied like crazy. Is anyone else tracking their totals, or am I the only one who gets weirdly excited about this?

Tracked mine for a year and hit 87 pounds from a two person apartment. It's wild how fast it adds up once you actually see it. The worm math never lies.
