Mama's Worm Composting

Next Worm Composting Workshop Saturday

I know my worm composting blogging has been somewhat lacking in excitement of late, but at least I can offer you a new date for the next worm composting workshop! It will be this Saturday, January 15 at 1pm in Oakland. If you'd like to rsvp for the worm composting class, please email me to do so and I will send you the details. 

Got other questions? Got something cool to share? Just let me know and I'll blog about it!

Worm Composting: My Local Cohorts

Now that I've written that title, I realize that I can't really call Jack Chambers of Sonoma Valley Worm Farm a worm composting "cohort", as he is more of a worm composting god than anything, and I'm not exactly on the same playing field. At any rate, Jack's a good guy who played a key role in helping me start my own operation, so I thought I would go ahead and send a little traffic his way. 

Check out this article on SFGATE about Jack and his worm composting operation. His farm is truly a site to behold, and whenever I visit I crave things like big motors and a dump truck of my very own... well, a girl can dream anyways. And if you happen to own a farm and are looking for a manure solution, he just might be able to solve all of your poop problems. 

Good worming!

Worm Composting: New Lower Prices on Red Wigglers!

Well, Happy New Year to you! I just wanted to write a quick announcement that Mama's is lowering prices on Red Wigglers to just $20 per pound in 2011. Pickup is available at ongoing worm composting classes / workshops that I will be holding at the farm in West Oakland. I'm sorry, but with two little kids to run after I have to schedule my pickup times very tightly, and thus the worm composting classes were born.

If you're not local, shipping is just $10 and includes a live worm guarantee no matter the weather. 

Also, vermicompost / castings are now available for pickup in the hour before the scheduled worm composting classes. Prices are $10 per cu. foot and $160 per cu. yard (you shovel...). This vermicompost is a rich mix of worm castings, partially processed manure, red worms and worm cocoons.

Good worming!
