The co-operative is now producing its own compost for enriching the soil in its food-producing gardens. Because less fertilizer needs to be purchased, the end result over the long term is lower costs and a smaller environmental footprint. The project also creates member education opportunities to learn about the principles of composting with worms and the uses of compost, as well as gardening and self-sufficiency. Following several meetings of the sustainable development committee, and hours of work, the committee selected a design made of wood, which is more environmentally friendly and more durable than plastic.![]()

Two wooden bins, made by a Montreal social economy enterprise, were assembled and located in the co op’s back yard. The compostable materials collected were placed in the two bins. Best practices were explained to the members who would be maintaining the vermicomposters. The composting process was begun and continued until frost. The compost will be available for use in the gardens in the spring of 2021. Composting training will be available in the spring for co op members and their children.
