Boulder Vermicomposting

John Anderson has a new site

I just saw John Anderson, the Colorado Worm Guy, at the Colorado Permaculture Convergence today, and he let me know that he has a new site. It’s cowormman.org. Make sure you visit and check out all the information he has.

Fort Collins Vermicomposting Workshop, Apr 11

The Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association is hosting a vermicomposting workship, run by none other than the Colorado Worm Man himself, John Anderson.  I found out about this via this tweet from the Front Range Permaculture Institute.  From the description:

In this workshop participants will imagine the re-use of materials and the repurposing of items into a functional and efficient organic conversion machine. Really! John will cover super simple on ground designs to elegant flow-thru concepts to keep our worm friends comfortable inside or out. John will show and tell and inspire from fifteen years of designing, constructing and using worm bins. Then we will get to work physically creating worm bins from the items and materials that have been gathered at the ReSource site. Some we will start, some we will be able to finish, and some we will sell to support non-profits.

Sounds like fun to me!

Fort Collins Vermicomposting Information

The Fort Collins city government has a page devoted to worm composting:

Worm composting or vermicomposting is a suitable composting option for apartment dwellers and homes with no yard space, and is also a great classroom activity. The worms stay in the bin and eat household food scraps, and the bin has no odor if properly maintained.

Everything from worm bin construction to harvesting to what to feed your worms is covered.

There is also a compost worm exchange page and a worm exchange Yahoo! group:

The Compost Worm Exchange is easy to use and provides a medium for those who want to obtain compost worms with those who have compost worms to give. The Worm Exchange also matches those who are seeking advice on vermicomposting (composting with worms) with those who have the know-how and expertise. All you have to do is ask!

Go Fort Collins!
