Green Life (in the City)
This page contains musings on urban agriculture, living green, and vermiculture.
One of my favorite urban hobbies and means of assuaging carbon guilt is vermiculture–making worm composting bins. You can do it in any balcony or bathroom with a minimal amount of tools. All of your food waste (except animal products) goes into the bins and comes out as “worm tea” (castings) that you can feed to your houseplants. The classic worm compost bin instructions in my opinion are here.
Below is a picture of my original worm compost bin setup on my balcony in Beijing’s gulou neighborhood circa summer 2009. (RIP gulou)
See more of my vermiculture bins here.
Searching for domains orthogonal to history, or just plants growing out of buildings. These things give me hope. What gives you hope?
