Build your own Worm Composting Box - Rescheduled to March 27

This is a construction class where each participant will be using reclaimed wood & construction tools to build a worm composting box. Composting "how to" will be covered during the last 30 minutes of class, with follow up hand outs. A second workshop completely on Worm Composting will be set up if there is participant interest.

It will be at one of my favorite natural building demonstration sites, Pine Manor www.pinemanor.com (http://www.pinemanor.com/)

The construction will be instructed by Michael Muenzer and assisted by his 15 year old apprentice, Aditya Ranganathan. Michael is a natural builder with his contractor's license in standard frame construction. An amazing combination.

Composting instruction will be by Earthroots Field School instructors. There will be 5 families total at this class, and there are currently 2 spaces available.
