Story 2.
Waiting for the worms to arrive…
Starting April 20, 2007 Nalbandyan community members collected around 30 tons of manure in the beforehand prepared barn area. The community group finished preparation of 1 meter thick compound of compost layer by mixing manure, bio wastes and green mass. All conditions for releasing the Californian worms into the mass have been prepared. The members of the Ecology Direction of the YES rural community youth club participated very actively in this work and are very inspired by the project.
The children’s rejoice was even more evident as simultaneously with this very important event for the whole community they get knowledge on how to produce fertile bio-humus. Everyone is interested in the bio-humus production of and is very proud that they are part of this initiative.
It is remarkable that the Ecology Direction members organized regular guarding of the compost and already recorded the first innocent ‘crime’ – some local children made a slight digging in the layer hoping to find famous worms. After being stopped by the young ecology group activists’ condemning faces the unfortunate ‘thieves’ answered:
- You know guys, we can make wonderful fishing by using these worms! We heard that the worms are just excellent…
The Youth Club Members had to disappoint these local youngsters telling them that the worms did not ‘arrive’ to Nalbandyan village yet…
