Master Composter debut

I made my debut as a Master Composter yesterday, joining one of my MC colleagues at his work place to help out with a composting awareness stand at lunch time.
Given that his colleagues are mainly scientists, it perhaps wasn’t surprising that most were already aware of the benefits of composting at home. A few had questions and problems to resolve, but nothing out of the ordinary.
As you can see, I had to draw on my considerable artistic talents to describe a Can-O-Worms wormery to a Portuguese lady who was being deterred from composting by a bad back. The advantages of the Can-O-Worms (and other stacking worm composters) is that you manage the wormery by adding and removing trays, so you very rarely have to man-handle the whole thing. This lady was concerned about the tap becoming blocked, which is an occasional hazard with wormeries, but the bottom tray on the Can-O-worms is deep enough that the worms won’t rapidly drown – there’s time enough to find someone to give you a hand if you have trouble rectifying the problem yourself.
