They also say if you gently make a little hole and bury your kitchen scraps down inside the worm bedding, and have plenty of shredded paper on the surface, then fruit flies are not a problem.
I've only had a problem with fruit flies with citrus fruits, so eventually I just stopped adding those to my bin. However, I'm interested in the freezing technique... I hate not being able to compost everything.

(Burying them deeper didn't fix the problem for me.)
