A new summer, a new action plan. Looking back at the first posts on this blog, I see so many things that we either never got around to or changed completely. I wonder how much of this post we will have done by the time I look back on it next summer if I'm still here? The Rocket has been forgotten for a bit since I've been gone and we've been switching to a new mentor, but I think it's time to revive her. (Maybe giving it a pronoun will help us not forget it this time.) Regretfully, Professor Araya is no longer working with us, as she has found better career opportunities outside of campus. I'm super thankful for her coverage of the composting conference in Arizona. Our new facaulty mentor is P.J. Ricatto! I'll miss her a lot, but PJ is great to work with as well!

We started by putting all the failed composting material that came from the rocket into large buckets so that we could reuse the woodchips inside, and organizing the mess underneath the Rocket. Most of what we had was either too dry or mostly woodchips, but I believe that we can improve this soon. We have already talked to the Dunkin Donuts and pizza staff at the first floor cafeteria here at BCC to help us, and hopefully they can learn to only put in food and not other garbage. Fingers crossed!
For now, we plan. We're hoping to put together our vermicomposter (finally) soon. Time to feed some worms!
That's all for today.
