Description

Wondering how you can get started with using compost worms to eat your organic waste stream and make compost for your garden?

The City of Fort Collins Natural Resources Department has teamed up with the Worm Man of Garbage Busters to offer this web based service through Yahoo! Groups to make it easy for you to obtain compost worms, assistance, education by communicating directly with your neighbors who wish to share their compost worms with you and their experience and know-how.

Some advice from the Worm Man about the transport of your worms: Worms should be transported in a container that provides air from the top (lid with holes). Pails and buckets work nicely.

To participate in the online group, sign in by clicking “Join the Group” (NOTE: due to increased spam activity, you must be a group member to participate in this program. Messages posted to this list are moderated Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm MST). Next, click “Post” to announce either your wish for compost worms or your offer of compost worms. Don’t forget to include your approximate location and a form of contact information in order to complete the exchange.

Please use one of the following tags in the subject line depending on your type of post:

Available: (if you have compost worms to give)
Wanted: (if you want compost worms)
Question: (If you are looking for advice on how to use or care for your compost worms
Tip: (if you have advice or a tip to pass on to your neighbors about your experience with vermicomposting)

Once you feel your post is no longer useful (like you’ve given all the compost worms you can), you can delete your own messages by clicking on the subject line and choosing the delete button.
