I think it would really work. The worms that eat kitchen scraps are a different species than regular garden worms (they're generically called "composting red worms", are reddish in color and have striped bands going around them the entire length of their bodies), but I've never started a compost pile in Southern Oregon that they haven't shown up naturally in, so obviously they're here, too.
I used to raise and sell these too, they're not particularly difficult to raise.
I think that's what I was trying, not too successfully to say. For me, also, compost piles or containers have to be convenient. Trips to find them result in me not bothering and tipping the scraps into the trash instead of the copost.
