Personally, I leave out anything onion. Why chance it when there's plenty of other things to feed them.
I have 3 cats, but don't use their hair. We de-flea our cats from time to time, so adding possible chemicals is best avoided. Not only that, it takes forever to break down.
Here's a list of things I add to my wormery...
Coir, shredded newspaper, toilet roll tubes, corrugated cardboard, melon, papaya, figs, bananas, mango, carrots, turnip, powdered egg shell, dolomite lime.
That's not a full list, just the ones off the top of my head. There are things I'd like to add, but don't have them available.
With most of the veg, I grate it and then freeze it. The freezing helps break down the cells, and quicker for the microbes to eat.
I haven't used tomatoes. I've heard mixed reviews about them. Too acidic IMO.
If you go to ASDA around 20:00 onwards, you can get lots of fruit and veg real cheap. The later you go, the cheaper it is, but less choice of course.
