DiaryOfAWorm: Wiki Gnomes and Coffee Grounds


WikiGnome?… what’s that?

Today, checking behind a local coffee shop, I discovered a bonanza of plastic bags of wasted coffee grounds. Usually I find only a few bags but today there were about 8 large bags of coffee grounds. Some coffee grounds went into the worm depository, some into the compost pile and a little was added to the worm condo. Coffee grounds add needed nitrogen to compost and are easy to digest for worms. Tomorrow I will go to the city dump for wood chips, carbon to make compost, and I will have the two large volume items for compost, growing soil.

I was grateful for this find and was going to write about it on this site when an even better bonanza for this web site came tonight. There was something wrong with the web site, some type of error message on top of the home page, pictures did not appear, and links led to error messages. Seeing it was not on other wiki web sites using the same server I called my wiki gnome, the builder, designer, support person and editor of this wiki web site. She sprung into action, did her wiki magic and now the wiki web site is working normally.

Reflecting on the coffee grounds and wiki gnome I realized my Wiki gnome made it possible for me to talk about my great find of coffee grounds. Like nitrogen is necessary for good compost pile, having a good wiki gnome is essential for a good wiki web site. Check out some of Tegan’s web sites at her Client Gallery. Coffee grounds make compost and wiki gnomes make web sites.
