Apartment Composting 101: Vermicompost with Barb Finnin
09:48 | 
Barb Finnin is part of the amazing Freshtopia team. She’s a certified master composter- her specialty is Vermicomposting with worms. We were super excited to learn that we could compost in our city apartment with a homemade worm bin even though we don’t have a yard. Throwing food scraps away in the garbage is not something either of us enjoys, so having a green alternative has been more than satisfying for our sustainability goals. After 4 weeks, our worms are happy and thriving.

[…] We enjoyed our conversation and worm-bin-making adventure with Freshtopia’s Barb Finnin so much that we’ve decided to give you another little taste! Barb and Ryanne discuss the radical-ness that is composting and how to avoid bringing non-compostables (darn plastic bags!) into your home. […]

Hey, I just found this website doing research on composting and I love it! But I was wondering if there were other, greener, options to the plastic bin? I know there are some biodegradable plastics out there but I was curious about alternatives. Thanks!

I’m a new worm farmer and love Barb and the podcast! One thing–I have been told not to use intensely colored newspaper or junk mail–the dyes in office mail can be toxic. (Black newsprint is soy-based.) What is your experience, Barb?

when you dump the castings out, how do you keep the worms from going too?
