It’s been almost 2 months since we gathered for Soil Stories Part 2 at UAL, where we got hands-on with composting and built our own wormeries from scratch. 🪱 @mayabarter shares her experience being a first-time worm parent, what the journey has been like so far, the ups and downs of maintenance, and how it has shifted her perspective on waste, soil, and food systems. 💚 Thank you Maya for being part of this growing composting community and sharing your story with us! 🌱 #compostcollective #soilstories #ual #earthweek2025 #morethanhuman #wormery #compost #soilhealth #foodwaste
