a potluck gathering and bicycle-powered compost mixer
Join
Wowhaus and Southern Exposure for a community compost mixer.
Participants are invited to bring a dish featuring in season, local
(preferably organic and home grown) produce. Please bring a dish that
generates some vegetable scraps to contribute to the mixer and pick up
tips for making your own compost mixer and compost.
Continuing
on after the event, gallery visitors are encouraged to bring in
vegetable scraps and to power the spinner by riding the bicycle. A
clear door on the bin aids in viewing the decomposition process which
when complete, will be used to enrich the soil of Southern Exposure’s
and community members’ gardens. The Wowhaus Mixer helps overcome many
obstacles to urban composting, offering a compact, efficient, and fun
means of reducing waste and enriching garden soil.
