Frugal Friday – community events
One of the free/donation events I found was for Vermicomposting. Or as I think it should be called, squirmycomposting. The Victory Garden Initiative hosted the class last week and I thought it was a lot of fun. This is another project that’s been on my to-do list, so this seemed like the perfect time to start.

Matt Ray from the Fernwood Montessori School shared a lot good advice and tips about keeping our red wigglers happy and producing lots of worm castings for us. The class ended with us each making up our own bins. I bought a 10 gallon bin from Menards for $4 with tax. Holes were drilled in the bottom for drainage and it was filled with a layer of wet shredded paper. That was covered with 3 quarts of soil. The owner of the store Future Green, where we met, even donated his worms and gave us each a handful from his own bin.
The handout for this class was emailed out, I’m sure there’d be no problem with forwarding it to anyone who’s interested. Just comment or email me
