Practical(ly) Zero Waste, a podcast about making zero waste living as practical as possible.
Indoor composting is perfect when you don't have access to municipal green waste pick up, and the way to do it indoors is with those wriggly and delightful little creatures called earthworms. Compost is the missing link in today's waste management crisis but everyone, EVERYONE could do their part by removing food scraps and even most paper recycling from the waste stream! We can do it people!! Today's chat with Cathy Nesbitt, pro vermicomposter, magic soil producer and owner of Cathy's Crawly Composters, might be just the inspiration we all need to dig deep into the world of composting and start saving the planet, one bit of food scrap at a time!

"Cathy’s worm business started with the 'what a waste'

good stuff that could be used otherwise. A few fortunate and
unfortunate events spurred on her fledgling business and here
she is today to tell us about it. Cathy’s Crawly Composters

of Senior Kindergartners. An ongoing curiosity of
our SK students within our Outdoor Classroom has been with
the resident worms. With the last wave of warm weather at
the end of March, we saw our excited children, once again,
overturning the log stools and gathering a squirm of worms
into a wheelbarrow. It is wonderful that children are free

Aquarium Research ... because life underwater is good!:
Vermicomposting.
Today I’m going to talk about my adventures in vermicomposting,
that is keeping red wiggler worms in a small plastic box,
allowing them to much on compost and poop out a wonderfully
rich soil additive. While this post might seem a little off-topic,
but I assure you it does indeed relate to fishkeeping in that
larger fish love noshing on live food, including earthworms.
So, it’s a pretty easy and awesome thing to do, taking your
food waste and turning it into food for your plants and tasty
food for your fish too! Those of you who’d like to try breeding
fish will find live/meaty foods will help bring your prospective
parents into breeding condition.

About the author: Feeling like the Web
could use a little more well-documented and researched information,
I had a desire to share some of my adventures in fish keeping
and breeding with my fellow aquarists. Thanks to some nudging
from friends, this WordPress blog was born. Let me start by
saying I have absolutely no formal background in biology,
genetics, statistics or research methods and have learnt all
that was necessary through books and Internet resources. In
school, I studied computer engineering, where the endless
slew of classes involved a sampling of pretty much “everything
science” except biology. With an almost hyperactive need to
learn new things though, my down-time was spent escaping into
the underwater world of my aquaria ... and loving every second
of it.

About the author: After hitting the glass
ceiling at my corporate job, I made a nonnegotiable decision
to make something out of myself. Inspired by the ultrasuccessful
women I’d met through Mary Kay, I decided to move into a leadership
role and become a director—a position that demanded an intensive
four-month qualification period. With my fierce will leading
the way, I went ahead and booked a hotel and caterer, and
sent invitations to my debut party before I even qualified
to be a director. Even though 90% of the women who pursue
this position fail to meet its prerequisite sales mark, I
told myself failure was not an option.

The
Academy - Worm Composting Pilot Project
In November 2011 Nicole Klement and Terri Rutty met to discuss
ways in which the YMCA Academy could be more sustainable.
Of concern was the waste management system at the Central
YMCA, the school’s new location. Unfortunately green bin pickup
is not currently available for schools, businesses and condominiums
in the city of Toronto so a search for ways to reduce the
school’s garbage output. Once research on vermi-composting
began all referrals pointed towards Cathy Nesbitt from Cathy’s
Crawly Composters. Cathy is well known in Toronto for her
vast knowledge of worms and worm composting. Nicole and Terri
contacted her for suggestions and to see whether composting
at the Academy was an option.

Balance 4 You - Worms Anyone?
This past Christmas I purchased some red wiggly worms for
my husband...oh he likes gardening, so all good! Surprisingly
for pets, they are very quiet and are free to feed. The end
result will provide us with food for the garden, and trees.
I like that it helps us be self-sustaining and contribute
to the environment.
It was a great investment and Cathy was very helpful and I
must say very entertaining. No lack of passion there!
I always enjoy learning something new...how about you? Enjoy
the learnings and pass along to those gardeners you know.
