Sat Sep 22 15:12:20 CEST 2012

hi all,  I went there today, met Tim but no one else was there. we left around 12.25.hope we could organize a proper meeting some time soon, to see what the best way could be with the experiment - as I said, am completely new to komposting and worry about my worms. i really don't want them die because of my inexperience...have a nice weekend and hopefully see you all soon - any idea how could organize a meeting more effectively?

hi, this is fine. i think you all should STIR, tumble, mix your
compost...
everytime you put veggie in, stir them with earth/worms and see
around the ground
and pick some brown stuff (fallen leaves, wood chips) to cover
it.
everytime with a layer of such brown stuff is necessary

have good meeting
sl

Good morning*
Ill try to be there too...By the way I
was there yesterday and noticed that my compost is covered by mushroom
(or mold -mould-mildew...?...schimmel)...I dont know if thats part of
the normal process but before it affects yr work too I thought I
should tell you because it could spread very fast...
If anyone knows or has suggestions how to
proceed please letme know...Maybe its a sign of failure and I should
remove my compost...

thank you

Hi all,
I try to come as well - I am new to the
whole thing of composting (except helping sometimes at my mother's
garden), and happy to learn all secrets and tricks about
it!
see you soon,
Andrea

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..

Greetings,
Valentina

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..
so the most public record of 'Composting
food,thoughts,emotions and related mutations including environmental
accidents."
http://www.compostingthecity.mobi/index.php?mod=bview

(please let me know you have trouble updating it, i am
seeing some intersting posts)

Gaia, your credits have been updated.
sorry i am in transit in the United States,,, just got to
new york city

very soon
sl

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).

I wish u a beautiful day.

Oggetto: [Adoptacomposter] 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
