[TheUWfarm] Compost Crew

Hello Folks!

It's a new school year, a new growing season and it's definitely time to make some compost.  Whether you're interested in growing food, waste management, teaching others about urban agriculture or just playing in the dirt, being a part of the compost crew is AWESOME.  This year we are looking to expand our compost production capabilities and we want your help.

As a member of the compost of crew your responsibilities will include:
--weekly pick-ups of food scraps and coffee grounds from around campus
--weekly compost making/learning parties on the farm
--keeping our worm bins thriving by feeding them and rubbing their bellies
--learning about the vital role compost plays in the workings of the farm as well as compost's greater implications to sustainability and large-scale waste management

There will be several opportunities to give tours and demonstrations of our compost facilities to university students and visiting groups.


Also, we love nothing more than teaching someone something new--so you don't have to be an expert to get in on this farmin' action.  If you have any questions or are interested in helping out, do not hesitate to contact me.


Eat Dirt,
