Home Composting Class Update
I attended a Home Composting Class put on by the U. of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences through our county’s Extension Service.

I signed up for a Home Composting class put on by the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences through our county’s Extension Service. So far I have mainly researched composting and interacted with other home composters on the Internet, so I’m looking forward to meeting others in my area who are also [...]

How Do I Know When the Compost is Ready
How do I know when the compost is ready? Since I haven’t gotten to the point of adding another tray to my Worm Factory 360, I had not yet considered if I would know that it was done. I think mainly the worms will leave the tray once there is no food left and there is [...]
