I am going to visit my sister who works at Islandwood, on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle. (I live near Chicago).

IslandWood is an Eco learning center, and they have a great food waste program, including vermicomposting.

I am sure my family will take good care of my garden and my squirm while I am gone and I am very happy to get to visit Islandwood's herd. My sister assures me that the kitchen staff is proud of their worms, and they will be happy to talk vermicomposting at length with me, so I hope to come back and have lots of worm stories to share.

I mean, who else would care?

Its not like I could bring this stuff up at at my next barbeque..."Oh, by the way, I saw the cutest commercial vermicomposter when I was in Seattle! It held a squirm of 50,000, and could process 500 moldy cantaloupe- honestly, I just wanted one in the worst way!"

:P
