[Adoptacomposter] adoptors united worm-date

Sat Sep 1 23:31:37 CEST 2012

hello group,

whoa - I just emptied a full stinking tray of liquid and drowning worms
from the bottom of my bin at home today and think it would be a GREAT
idea to all meet and maybe take a quick look at the construction of our
worm tower. My "suite" is on the bottom left (so Tilia can reach it too)
and I'm wondering about how to prevent all the castings and juice from
the rest of the apartment from drowning out my adopted worms -- yikes!

maybe we can set up a worm-date to really get the boxes going, take the
bags out, share bedding, talk about food (preparation), and if necessary
make some adjustments/improvements to the construction... Since we're
all probably super busy, I've started a doodle to avoid a string of
mails about dates:

Look forward to meeting everyone!
best, Alex
