Boulder Vermicomposting

Via the Pueblo Chieftain, I found this article about a recycling village planned for 40 acres outside of Pueblo.  The folks behind the whole village concept are at the Gaia Institute Wellness Center.  Currently, the focus is on composting with redworms.  They are being used to compost sewage sludge:

State health officials and the city of Pueblo have given a green light to using sewer sludge as part of the diet of worms.

…

The worms eat through about 2 tons of composted garbage, paper, dirt and sludge in a little more than two weeks…

This part of the project is called ‘Happy Worm Herders’, and they seem to have an informative site (though their ‘vermicomposting basics’ appear to be lifted directly from Wikipedia).
