Hi there,
sorry I was a little late today and didn't meet anyone.
no flies, wasps, or other critters around the worm village today-
probably because of the cooler weather.
since the doodle didn't help much - how about meeting next Sunday @ 12?
maybe it would help motivate us more if we made some fun action out of
the meeting --
like a worm flash mob... we could take the worms on an excursion to
kotti to scavenge for food and bedding...
or maybe just take the boxes out on the Bethanien lawns to dress the
boxes for winter and do a photo shooting.
what do you all think?
best Alex

>> Hello all,
>>

>> I was sick yesterday, unfortunately, and am still

>>
>> 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

>> I realize we're all super busy people, most of us

>> practicle knowledge about care & feeding, bedding
>> insulation, and eventually design.
>>
>> suggestions much appreciated!
