Wanna Start A Worm Composter?

A lot of people have contacted me about worm composting, including most recently Rex who works for the company that makes The Worm Factory, the composter that I use.  He liked the videos that I put up on youtube and we got to talking and before you know it, he offered to have folks who come from the blog here get either 10% off on a bin or an extra tray when they order.


How cool is that?

I should point out that I can't say that these work any better or worse than any other composters, just that they do work well. If you want to make a composter yourself at home there are a ton of places to find designs on the web. That said, if you are one of those people who just wants to jump right email me at dave(at)sustainabledave.org and i can get you a unit.  Finally, if you are sourcing worms near you, check out this site.

Let me know how it goes!
