Vermicompost

What initially drew me to the office was the chance to learn more about sustainable practices as opposed to just being aware of them. I came to the conclusion that only good can come out of an environment filled with smart individuals contributing to collective efforts. So far my favorite thing I’ve learned is how to compost. And around the same time as learning about it, I started up my own bucket of vermicompost.

Pretty much just a bucket filled with some soil or substrate, and a bunch of worms.

After a week or two, the worms had already started to break down the majority of food scraps and paper wastes I had put in the bucket. The process has only sped up from there.

Pretty soon I’ll have my own stash of compost! I plan to use it in my future gardening endeavors.

In regards to the connections I’ve made through the office, I’ve become somewhat employed at Blue Pearl Farms. It’s a blueberry farm where the only rules are to fiinish the task at hand and to eat the biggest blueberries. It’s some hard work but at the same time I’d rather be working out in a field as opposed to working in a cubicle for the rest of my days.
