IMAGES FROM 2010!

– MoS collectors located people with waste in hand.

– We offered worm compost bin disposal for their apple core or any raw food intercepted.

Seeing the worms was a hit with the kids!
City information on Composting

– We accrued more collective participants.

– People talked compost with Master Collectors. We all engaged in multiple conversations and trouble shooting.

Angelo demonstrating Sub-irrigation tomato pots

– Leaf compost was played in and kids learned how to sift it into fine soil.

Helper. Sifting leaf mulch.

– People sowed bean seeds and hopefully they are now growing up in windows around NYC.

– Fruit smoothies were enjoyed. Worms ate the waste. It is now beautiful soil growing more food in our gardens.
