Here's a cool product
I was comparing prices on redworms when I found The Worm Bin in my Gardener's Supply catalog http://www.gardeners.com
This thing reminds me of a bee hive in that it has stacking trays so you can remove the finished compost at the bottom because the worms have moved to the upper trays where the fresh food is. It's a little pricey, but I bet can jury rig something similar. They claim the worms can process two pounds of kitchen scraps per day.
