@Victor, I would do that also, but it isn't very feasible where I live. The closest I could come to that would be to recycle potting soil in a bucket or trash can with kitchen scraps.
@Maddie, I didn't realize worms laid eggs. It has occurred to me that once they multiply I will either need an additional bin or will need to start talking friends into vermi composting.
@Loving, I went back to the link and yes, you put the worms in the bottom and fresh stuff in the top. Eventually they migrate upward to where the food is and you harvest from the bottom. Seems a little complicated to me compared to one bin and something to catch the liquid.
All:
I will probably use this method first:

I considered something like this for just leaves since I have those collapsible laundry bins already, though I would need a lot of leaves to fill one and make my own leaf mold.
Maybe when the Japanese maple blooms there will be enough leaves to collect and fill at least one hamper. It's wearing out anyway.
