Where'd You get those Worms?
I often get asked where we purchase our wonderful Red Wiggler composting worms. The Texas Worm Ranch is a working organic farm that took farming and made the leap into vermicomposting.
The farm gives tours, hosts educational sessions and sells plenty of worms to the worming enthusiast.
UTA Sustainable Campus Composting Program
Watch our very own Master Composter, John Darling, discuss the UTA sustainable campus composting initiative and how he collects and uses campus organics to divert hundreds of tons of food waste every year.
Master Composter Workshop participants. How are your compost bins and worm bins doing? We'd love to feature an update in our next newsletter. Just email me a photo and a short synopsis.
