The members’ workshop was very informative with hands-on demonstrations. Angela, the Master Composter, gave a detailed explanation of the workings of the three bin system. We played a fun picture trivia card game to determine what can, cannot or may not be appropriate for the compost bin.
Debbie explained the workings of a two tier worm bin system. She also brought a high power microscope to show various micro-organisms in the worm bin projected onto a computer screen so that we all could see. She shared her worms 🪱 for some of us to take home.
After the workshop I felt confident to start my own composting worm bin and came home with a bin supplied by City Farmer.
Metro Vancouver has a terrific pamphlet available here.
