 Sandi
WieseI own a small scale
worm farm and am personally responsible for having recycled several tons of
food and other organic waste. I am very familiar with all aspects of
worms and worm growing from personal experience and research. I also graduated from the CSU Rocky Mountain Compost School (yep, there is such a thing!) and have
composted and gardened since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I do
not have formal education in any of these areas other than the CSU school;
but since there is no place to go to learn worms…..What’s a girl to do but
invent one? So I did. And that’s the whole poop.
