Evangeline that’s exactly right :) We homeschool, so besides the benefit to the garden we’re putting in this year, it’s their science project for the next months. Thanks for the book recommendation.

Eleanor – Kompost. It’s just sounds so much cooler in German. Hopefully your relationship won’t end up in trash along with your food scraps! There was a recent article in the NYX called “Therapists See Rise In Green Disputes.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/18/science/earth/18family.html?scp=1&sq=therapist%20see%20rise%20in&st=cse I was going to write a post about it. It’s kind of funny, but also kind of not. The other day Joshua brought home two Japanese Apple Pears wrapped in styrofoam netting imported from Korea. I had to take a walk around the block for that one. It’s important to stay light-hearted, but remain conscious about what you’re working toward. I’m glad I’ve inspired you!

Darcy,
Worms are fun, educational and cute! What a great idea! Figuring out the biology of all the processes going on in decomposition is an excellent science lesson. Ecology, Biology, Chemistry – it’s all there. Plus, they make great pets. I already feel very attached to my brood. You might want to check out the book “Worms Eat My Garbage” a great primer on worm farming. Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Great post! My boys an I are about to start vermicomposting, so this post came at a great time for even more encouragement!

Another great post, with great links! I’m all over Freecycle. Also, reading Farm Apartment has inspired me to start separating out my food scraps from the rest of the garbage (regardless of whatever strains this puts on my young marriage) We really have no excuse, since a standard part of our apartment building trash service includes the ‘Kompost’ bins, the contents of which all go into fertilizing the massive city park and beautiful gardens of Munich.
