The Great Worm Experiment
Twice a year we do the seasonal cleanse at our practice. This Spring we had a particularly eager group who were mostly new to eating organic, local, and seasonal food. I participated in the cleanse (and will do another in June), and was inspired to start some new projects that I have been mulling over for some time. I have started my first organic vegetable garden, am making my own homemade yogurt and alfalfa sprouts, have installed a shower timer to cut down on water usage, and lastly I have decided to give worm composting a try.
After much online research I decided that worm composting (vermicomposting) would be fun for my boys to participate in and would feed my growing garden while cutting down on the food waste we add to our yard waste bin (to be turned into compost by Cedar Grove and sold back to me as a consumer!).
There are various options to house the worms including: open bins, closed drawer style bins, and flow through systems. I went with the flow through system after reading reviews and other blogs and purchased a container through The Worm Dude.
We are all set up in the garage and just waiting for the worms to be delivered today!
I will be blogging about our experience with our new friends.
More soon...
Dr. Wada (and family)
