This is my worm freezer in the garage. The bottom shelf is the pureed food in gallon size zip lock bags. We collect our scraps in a zip lock bag, which then gets frozen. At one point, we had so many bags that they wouldn't all fit into the freezer, which was a bit of a problem in the summer.
Pureeing allowed us to fit four times more food in the freezer and still leaves the top shelf free for other stuff. Freezing and chopping the food means the worms can consume the food faster, which is key for an indoor bin because you don't want the food to sit. It should be consumed quickly to minimize the opportunities for bugs to congregate.
As you can see, one of the bags developed a leak and it took me a while to find the problem one. In the meantime, the leak meant the freezer and refrigerator didn't smell very good. But a cup of baking soda on the top shelf took the smell away right away.
