To Vermicompost or Not to Vermicompost?

That is the question - triggered by a Facebook feed sponsored post for the Urban Worm Bag.  And then the rabbit hole opened up and off down into it went this urban terrace jungle girl.  YouTube review videos are a black hole.

Seems it produces fast, or relatively fast, compost.  Not sure about tending to all those little worms.  One summer the vermicomposting happened accidentally - there happened to be worms when the bin was opened for the usual stirring, they appeared inexplicably.  Maybe they came with soil from plants transplanted from the Mother Garden.  But those wormies - they seem awfully high maintenance.  And what to do with them in winter?  Seems a lot of people keep their bins inside, which is not feasible in a New York City apartment.

The answer keeps coming back to "no."
