Ahead of the Curve


Lauren pointed out this news story to me yesterday--San Francisco passed a law to make composting mandatory. In addition to a regular garbage bin and a recycling bin, residents will be issued another bin for compost-able material to be put out and picked up along with all the other trash. 90% of the compost goes to wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties. Fines for non-compliance top out at $1,000 for repeat offenders, but only in the most egregious cases.

But, this is news? I've been composting for, like, weeks now. Speaking of, it's all going very well. I may need to do a little tweaking for moisture content (I think I'm too moist, currently), but the worms are definitely doing their job. And reproducing! We've got lots of little worms, eating more and pooping more. And eventually making more worms, I suppose. We'll probably have worms to share at some point. I'll keep you posted.

Shhhh....you can hear them: "nom, nom, nom..."
