The Little Eden Hill Urban Farm: Worm farm and transitions meeting

Worm farm pre-production. Bucket on left has the coconut coir bedding you soak in water

Put together my worm farm the other day, these are a few shots to show how it went together. It was all in all very easy, and only took about half an hour from start to finish, and it's already got it's first batch of veggie scraps from cooking last night to munch on.:)

I went to my first Guildford Town Transitions Kitchen Gardeners Society meeting on Sunday afternoon hosted at Andy & Rebecca's house to help them fill and plant three new raised garden beds. There was a good turnout, of probably around 20 people. We all had a bit of a chat and I got a chance to get acquainted with a few of the members. Because we had so many volunteers the actual hard labour was done in less than an hour I'd say, and then we had an afternoon tea brought by members. I brought a jar of my homemade tomato sauce, freshly brined olives and some extra lemons off our tree. I took home with me some oranges someone else brought to the sharing table. All in all it was a very fun afternoon getting to meet other people with similar goals and interests and look forward to going to my next one!
