If you've somehow found yourself here at this blog, you may wonder what it's all about. It started out in 2013 as a personal blog documenting observations made while composting ("Sisterhood of the Traveling Worms") but then morphed into a visual history of Sunny Compost, a community composting site in Queens. From 2012 to 2020, a group of community members joined together to collect food scraps from neighbors and process it for use in the garden where the compost site is located or in neighborhood trees and other local spaces.
The blog documented some of those efforts which included many community workshops about composting. We took photos and videos of our efforts. It's a real tribute to the people who helped out and made the compost happen. Prior to 2012, food scraps were being collected here as well and the site wouldn't have existed without those true compost heroes.
In 2020, the site transformed again in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read all about the new beginnings, name change and community advocacy taking place at https://www.woodsidesunnysidecomposting.org. Learn about the Rusty Wheelbarrow Farm, find links to all social media sites, and of course, click on the volunteer link.
Can't wait to see what's next with WSC.
