Is there anyone who would be willing to share some of their worms. I plan on starting an indoor bin approx. 3'x3'. Thanks! </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/vermicomposting#post-52 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 16:25:36 +0000 claytontf 52@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi,<br /> We sell Red Wrigglers here in our office 5 days a week. Just give us a call or drop an email and we will have them ready for you when you can stop by.</p> <p>Thanks to every one who stopped by the Somerville Farmers' Market this weekend. It was awesome meeting all the folks who are doing the composting thing. We are all making a difference, no matter how small. </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/vermicomposting#post-49 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 15:54:08 +0000 kristen 49@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi,<br /> I recently moved up here from down south, and my worm bin needs some TLC. Most importantly, it needs a population boost! Is there anyone willing to buy/trade a handful of wrigglers? I am in Somerville on weekdays, but unforunately can't make it up for the Winter Market. Thanks in advance. </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/vermicomposting#post-48 Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:12:05 +0000 Jen Jalapeno 48@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>I recently started worm composting in my kitchen -it's so easy and fun! Even my finicky boyfriend, who doesn't like things to not be neat and clean, doesn't even notice they're there and actually adds to it! Definitely contact Clayton if you'd like to know how to create your own sustainable system under your kitchen sink! </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/vermicomposting#post-47 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:11:57 +0000 claytontf 47@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi everyone,<br /> Clayton here. I am going to be at the Somerville Winter Farmers’ Market on February 12, 2011. I will be there with some of my squiggly co-workers showing folks how to vermicompost indoors over the winter months. Here at Groundwork Somerville we work with our worm friends in composting, vermicomposting, and vermiculture. At home, my wife and I have been composting and vermicomposting in our kitchen for almost 3 years. This is probably the best way of composting kitchen wastes all year long. Thousands of households without gardens use neat and unobtrusive worm boxes indoors to compost their kitchen scraps. I am curious how many households in Somerville use one or all of these methods. I will be taking a survey as well as sharing tips on all three on the 12th. Stop by and let’s chat.<br /> What interest do you have in working with worms? What discussions would you like to have on Saturday about vermicomposting? Let me know your thoughts and interests.<br /> Also make sure and stop by the Farm Share Fair in Cambridge on Thursday night. There will be lots of great farmers to meet and lots of CSA’s to learn about.<br /> <a href="http://www.farmsharefair.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.farmsharefair.org</a><br /> See ya Saturday! </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/winter-composting#post-33 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 20:39:40 +0000 Chelsea 33@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>We have an indoor worm bin in my apartment, too. We keep a metal canister by the sink, so that when we are prepping food we can put all of the organic matter scraps directly into it. When that canister gets full, we decant it into the worm bin.</p> <p>As far as doing SoilCycle by bicycle in the winter, that's a tough one. I'll think about it and post if I come with anything useful... </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/winter-composting#post-29 Mon, 20 Dec 2010 18:46:05 +0000 claytontf 29@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>I agree with Tai, worm composting is a great idea for all seasons. I have had a Goundwork Somerville worm bin in my kitchen for 6 months and there are no smells or fruit flies. My family house guest the past months do not even know it's there. :) </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/winter-composting#post-22 Tue, 07 Dec 2010 19:00:49 +0000 Tai Tomato 22@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi Claudy! I use indoor worm composting to keep me going through the winter. I just made a bin by following the instructions in Groundwork Somerville's "Guide to home worm composting." It's really easy and doesn't smell at all! </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/winter-composting#post-21 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 19:35:01 +0000 claudy jean-louis 21@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi Claudy here,I’ve been doing SoilCycle which picks up compost around the Somerville area every Tuesday and Thursdays, I enjoy meeting new people and telling them about the kind of work I do.<br /> We are not the only one out there interested in composting year round. We want to hear the public’s voice and opinion.</p> <p> Now lets get started my 1st question is how do you keep your composting running during the winter time?</p> <p>2nd question we have about 13 subscribers my goal is to have 100 by next year but we won’t be able to do that if I have to stop every winter.</p> <p>We want to know how would you deal with this in your own way or how do you handle it year round. No question is too bad or no idea is to small.</p> <p>Let me know what you think. Later. </p> http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/topic/groundwork-somerville-has-received-many-requests-for-worms-of-late#post-2 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:48:50 +0000 jllawrence 2@http://forum.groundworksomerville.org/ <p>Hi folks!</p> <p>We wanted to start this thread for folks interested in sharing worms...</p> <p>Let the sharing begin!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>GWS Crew </p>
