Who's been VC-ing the longest??

[Lizette Janse van Vuuren]

Hi,just interested to know who's been doing this for the longest period?I thought I was a real juvenile but then I saw some other members started after me.

[Carl]

Not me. I've only been doing this since October.

I am new 2...Many people on hear on here are new which means vermi-composting is growing popular

[Bryan Smith]

And I for one am trying to recruit others as well!

[Troy Brooks]

I just started back in sept. Am amazed how fast the membership here has grown though. My number is something like 360 and I just joined a couple months ago. Now there are almost 600. I think that is way cool.

I started in July.

And, who are you calling "juvenile"? (LOL)

I started Vermicomposting in 2003 I believe, Its been a while. I had finished undergoing treatment for cancer and going through a real depression, My worms were my escape and it was quite frequently that one could find me digging in the bin and it always made me feel better. I kind of ignored them now for some time but now I am back in the swing of things and tending to them daily wanting to see the population explore once again. so I guess right now I am the Senior in here.

[Steven Chow]

I'm a newbie... just been VCing since around May 2008

[Asha]

April 2008,

I did try VC-ing back in the early 80's it was a disaster so it doesn't count.

[Jason]

May 2008 for me as well.... something must have been in the air.

[Anisten]

Seems like I am the Senior Citizen here

I've been at it in one way or another since 1999!!
Bought a huge big composter with gravel drainage at the bottom, and a door just above that to harvest from. It took years to get to a level worth harvesting, although I did scrape some vermicompost out most springs for my containers. There was much less information about worming back then, and I shudder to think how many worms I murdered along the way- but they kept coming back. Now I have much healthier flow through systems, and they deal with a huge amount of waste, along with partly composted horse manure I get from the stables my daughter has recently started riding in.
Grew some great tomatoes, beans and salads with the compost this year-(and the slugs got a great feed too grrrr)
