Springtime! Get your worms!



Your best resource for everything vermiculture!



















.

Compost Conference at Rhode Island College March 10th
  Rhode Island has passed legislation that requires a limited number of food producers to divert the waste from the Central Landfill.  The legislation is for restaurants, colleges and universities, and food wholesaler and distributors that produce 104 tons of organic material annually.  The law could be a boon to the sustainability of local small agriculture by providing quality compost.  But the requirement  only applies if there is a composting or anaerobic digestion facility within 15 miles of the food scrap producer.  Earth Care Farm in Charlestown is currently the only commercial-scale composting site in Rhode Island that takes food scraps.
