❗Big announcement❗ I'm excited to share the new worm composter I built, which will live at the Maker Station (). 🪱🌿🪱
My stacking tray-style worm composters are great at the home scale, but big trays are hard to lift when they're full of damp compost. For months, I've been wanting to move from a vertical system to a horizontal system. I also just completed a college Pipe Trade Foundations (plumbing/pipe fitting) course and wanted to incorporate some of my learnings into the drainage system for this unit.
Huge thanks to the Maker Collective for providing space, equipment and allowing me to build this while I work for them this summer! Thank you also to the UNBC green fund, which covered the material costs and contributed to my wage for the build. I'll be starting on a second composter ASAP.
In the coming weeks, I will also be sifting finished worm compost from my old composting system, so stay tuned if you're looking to give your garden a boost. :)
