City Farmer Composts on Breakfast TV

Breakfast TV Comes to the Vancouver Compost Demonstration Garden

Sharon talks with Tasha about how we make compost at the garden. City Farmer staff answer composting questions on the Compost Hotline six days a week all year long – that’s around 5000 calls.

Staff speak to the media every week about other subjects as well, such as green roofs, shiitake mushrooms, composting toilets, local food, natural lawn care, pest control without pesticides and so on – everything to do with being environmentally friendly at home in the city.

Breakfast TV Looks at Our Worm Bin

It's surprising how many people don't like spiders. Tasha steps back from the worm bin when she sees a little eight-legged arachnid. Even some of our staff avoid the little critters.

The City of Vancouver provides both backyard composters and worm bins to its residents at a subsidized price. More than 40% of residents now have backyard bins behind their homes.
