worm bin | Crazy About Compost

Off to the Bay…

For the next 10 days, I'll be hanging out in the Bay Area... I can't wait to take some pictures of the San Francisco composting program. And of course, I'll be taking photos of trash and recycling cans for Tyler Talks Trash. I find it funny that my favorite part of traveling has become taking pictures of waste receptacles...seriously! It's always the first thing that comes to mind when I go somewhere. I've heard really good things about San Francisco's composting plan...it wouldn't surprise me if Philadelphia followed suit. I'll have to see what I can do...

I can't tell you what to do, and frankly I don't want to. But I can assure you it's fun to compost and that you should give it a shot. Don't you miss trying out science experiments? I hated school, but I always loved trying new things...and this is the perfect candidate and it's pretty darn foolproof when you know…

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QFCW2X9OZ8 Woohoo! I just made a new worm bin. I'm going to go ahead and call it a "Bentley Bin", which I named after Bentley Christie of http://www.redwormcomposting.com . He's the true master of vermicomposting, and I highly recommend checking him out to learn everything there is to know about worms. Hit the Like button for the video and leave a comment for me! I'll be posting updates once I get my worms, which should be in about a week.
