How to compost in your condo

Been crazy busy and haven't had much time for blogging.

Anyway, just thought I'd drop this awesome article about DIY vermicomposting towers. I have a similar system under my desk at work where I throw my vegetable/fruit waste. The diff between the one in the article and mine is that mine is a tub system, which is a little simpler to run, but harder to maintain. The tower system has a higher chance of success, and is probably more effient, but it's also a lot more complicated to build.

Anyway, if you're interested, drop me a line, and I can help you get started (ie. with worms and some tips).

As a side note, I'm planted a garlic clove at the office and it sprouted!

Refinished Dining Room Table

Refinished my parents' old dining room table over the last week. Took quite a bit of work, but it paid off.



You can see that I didn't bother refinishing the centre extension, just the two round pieces.
