Let Worms Eat Your Leftovers!

I came across this blog Urban Food Producer  today, and it explains how composting will help save the world! The blogger, Kate Kurtz,  is a soil scientist from Seattle, and she explains how bad landfills are for emitting greenhouse gasses. Why not start a compost pile or at least a worm bin in your own yard, and save the gas used by the compost trucks? We have a great,  and very small worm bin right now at my home, and it works great! We clean out our fridge every few days and feed anything we won't eat soon to the worms! They are our only pets right now, and so low key! They are multiplying like crazy right now!
Let me know if you are interested in receiving a worm bin, and I can source one for you- or check with Seattle Public Utilities for a sale of the green cones specifically made for this purpose. Seattle Tilth has worm bin kits for you to put together on your own as well.
