Worm dirt is a wonderful thing. We've (mostly Bug) been raising red wrigglers for a few years now. We started out with an old canoe that lives in our garage and it's now a worm city. Now have an additional pile outside that is a mix of horse manure, because we have SO MANY WORMS. They eat all of our vegetable and fruit scaps, coffee grounds, coffee filters, paper towels, etc.
We fill up a container with scraps, then "feed the worms", and they follow the food. In their wake, they leave their poo (dirt). You take out the dirt when they've made a circle, then add more bedding, such as leaves, newspaper and so on. It's the best fertilizer. I can put a handful of the dirt on houseplants every few months, and water as normal. The plants LOVE it. It doesn't smell either.
Worms are amazing little things. They become a tiller for your plants. They clean the roots. They do everything!
