    Hi all,

      I haven't been @ the worm villas in a while, so I'll try to come
      around 12 to add some more bedding and check on ecosystem-health
      indicators (mites, flies, worm cocoons...)

      hope to see some of you!

      Alex

    Dear everyone,
      

      
      I am sorry I didn't speak all this time. I am very busy this
        period. I am going today to take my worms out of the bag and add
        bedding.
      If anyone was planning to come by, hopefully we will meet.
      Around 12.00..

                dear all
                

                
                yes, good to see some discussion going and the
                  concerns about the condition.
                Very true, to set this composter as 'public art' ,
                  we are taking the risk of being vandalized.
                i am happy to see the process of self-organization
                  going. i rather not to impose any
                administration assistance at this moment and see
                  how the 12 adoptors (as a social
                connectors) can resolve this issues collectively.
                

                
                yes, please update on the website blog.., this
                  eventually shoud be presented at transmediale2013..

                Hallo alle!
                Sorry I kept myself in a
                  non-interacting way because I was travelling but
                  followed the conversations.
                Im on my way to the compost
                  castle and what I did before I left was building a
                  carton box placing a t-shirt on the bottom filled with
                the composting matters -- I
                  left the box half open at the top and sort of half
                  covered it with the almost empty bag of the soil we
                  all got.
                Im now going to check what
                  happened.
                About keeping updated the page
                  on the site well...I could only place an Avatar but no
                  pictures and no text..Still fighting to understand
                  how.
                

                  What I mostly love is to see how passionate the
                  discussion is and I personally see it totally organic
                  to the process of our composting journey...Composting
                  food,thoughts,emotions and related mutations including
                  environmental accidents.

                
                Our daily feeding and related
                  thoughts, misunderstandings (including tongue-like
                  mistakes) but also achievements almost remind me of
                  the myth of Babilonia (a dream and a nightmare at the
                  same time).
                I guess this reflections are
                  exactely what I should post on the web site...But
                  while fighting to make it happen Ill just communicate
                  directely to you dears companions.

                  

                  P.S

                  I dont know who is updating the website relating to
                  the credits page where our names as adoptors are
                  displayed (http://www.compostingthecity.mobi/berlin/html/credits.html)...I
                  wrote to Shu Lea
                    Cheang to
                  ask to link my name to my projectspace but I see
                  nothing changed.

                  So...If any of you is doing that please link my name
                  to www.liebig12.wordpress.com
                  (it is actually my artist studio that works as a
                  projectspace too and if by the way anyone as ideas or
                  projects to present please visit me or write me!***it
                  is in FrankfurterTor***and open to host almost any
                  idea).

                    meeting

                
                

                
                Hello all,

                  

                  just looked at the doodle and realized that most
                  people could meet on Tuesday (yesterday). Did that
                  happen?

                  I was sick yesterday, unfortunately, and am still
                  recovering. It would be great if someone else took the
                  lead on our plans to meet.

                  

                  Also, Gaby informed me yesterday that the worm house
                  and area around it is pretty trashed - litter
                  everywhere, smell of urine, and flies and wasps
                  swarming around the bins.

                  This is the reality of Kreuzberg - if there is little
                  activity and "social control" around a project, it
                  literally gets "composted" by the circumstances of the
                  city.

                  

                  I realize we're all super busy people, most of us with
                  very little experience vermicomposting, but for this
                  project to survive, I do think that a regular meeting
                  (say once a month?) or at the very least one initial
                  meeting where everyone (including more silent members
                  and rudi, the worming expert) get together and
                  exchange practicle knowledge about care & feeding,
                  bedding insulation, and eventually design.

                  

                  suggestions much appreciated!
                best, Alex
