There's something molto bellissima about composting pasta. After all, both black gold and pasta require a few simple ingredients, a little time, and some molding and shaping by hand. They're practically cousins! It's with great pleasure then that we provide organics pickup for Seven Hills Pasta Co. Since enrolling with Bootstrap back in January, this family-run pasta producer based in #Melrose has responsibly diverted over 2,000 pounds of eggs shells and flour. Bravi Seven Hills!Last week while visiting farms in the upstate New York area, we stopped by a closed loop vermicomposting site. The farm, located by Lake Seneca, is part of the Cornell University Agricultural program. The landscape features thirty trenches measuring four feet by one hundred feet, all containing our favorite red wiggling workers. Although a much slower process compared to more traditional methods of composting, the finished product is nothing less than magical. After seeing this in action, it is hard not to imagine this happening at our home base soon. #compost #vermicompost #worms #wormywednesday #sisterhoodofthetravelingwormsWhether it’s some banana peels, or those leftovers you never got to, or, in this case, the salad you made for the cookout that turned out to not be a hit, it can all be composted! As long as it fits in the bucket, it’s all good! #compost #foodwaste #foodscrapsAfter a week of lessons, our warehouse manager, Eddie has completed the Compost Operations Training Course. Throughout the week, he learned about compost as both a process AND the final product that we all know and love. From team-building a pile using materials from #Cornell University, to its uses beyond just a soil amendment, Eddie learned quite a bit and is excited to share his new knowledge with his fellow members at BSC. Amongst the group of forty or so who completed the course were members of faculty at Princeton University and Kansas State University, companies who serve the cities of New York City and Tempe, Arizona, and citizens of Brazil and Georgia (the republic, not the state). The wealth of information shared went beyond traditional methods and borders, both language or geographical. To learn more about the course, check out @compostingcouncil.
