I wrote about this year’s extravaganza back in November, describing some of initial steps I had taken in order to get the bin ready for winter. Since then winter has arrived in a BIG way and we are certainly off to the races as far as this year’s cold weather composting goes!
I recently made a YouTube video outlining my efforts (see above), but also posted a much higher quality version on my Worm Composting Videos page (at Red Worm Composting). You’ll likely be relieved to learn that volume is NOT required in order to get the full benefit of watching the video, and in fact some may feel that MORE benefit is actually derived when the volume is off!
As mentioned, primary coverage of the Extravaganza will be provided on my other sites, but rest assured I will still be providing plenty of updates here as well, just in case anyone is interested in following along!
I mentioned last month (ie in one of my most-recent posts! lol) that main coverage of my Winter Composting Extravaganza is going to occur on a ‘secret‘ website - which of course was only ’secret’ because I wasn’t ready to make it public yet. I’ve been slowly working on it in fits and spurts for months now, and I’ve finally decided to share it. There is still considerable work to be done, but I’ve decided to just ‘let go’ and launch it as-is (which will provide me with lots more incentive to make time for it from here on out).
In case you haven’t figured it out, the site is called Compost Guy - not unbelievably original, but still a very fitting title given my passion for the topic.
I decided to launch the site in the hopes of reaching a much broader audience than is possible via Red Worm Composting, yet a somewhat more targetted audience than our readers (or former readers, haha) here at EcoSherpa. I’m going to be talking about a lot more than just composting of course, but there are plenty of eco topics I won’t be discussing. I’m confident that the three blogs will tie together very well, and I certainly don’t mean to imply that I am abandoning any of my current projects.
If you happen to be keenly interested in topics such as composting, aquaponics, eco-gardening etc, and have enjoyed my coverage of these topics here, then perhaps you’ll want to add Compost Guy to your feedreader as well (but no pressure - haha!).
That being said, Steve and I will still be talking about ALL aspects of sustainable living here at EcoSherpa.
Anyway, I won’t say more than that for now, but rest assured you hear more about it in coming months!
Note to self: STOP saying that EcoSherpa is going to be a lot more active “soon”!
Sheesh! You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by now. It seems as though every time I apologize for our inactivity on the blog and promise things will be getting better, we actually head in the opposite direction!
Oh well - hopefully you know I only say those things because I care!
Anyway, I’m not going to bother informing you that there are some new blog posts coming your way very soon. Nor will I mention that you’ll be very likely learning about my new site today. There is probably no point in providing you with an update on my winter composting experiment either!
Ok, I’ll stop being annoying now! Let’s get on with it!!
