how do you say that you do worm composting in spanish

Question

I am trying to say that 'we do worm composting' in spanish. hacemos lombricultura? or composta con gusanos? or hacemos composta con gusanos?

Also how can I say dryer lint in spanish? hila de secadora?

Answer 1

Welcome to the forum! You win the prize for the most unusual question of the day!!

Seriously, "worm composting" is "abono orgánico de gusanos".

And your second question... dryer lint??? Seriously, you have really made me chuckle with this post. Hmmm..."dryer lint"...I didn't know, so I went on a GE web site in Spanish and read the instructions for the dryer. There is a strong warning to not run the dryer without the "filtro de pelusas en su lugar", which would be the "lint filter in its place". I infer that "lint" would be "pelusas" and "dryer lint" would be "pelusas de la secadora".

I most certainly hope that I do not have to eat any composted worms if I am wrong!

kooky. .i know. i am trying to talk about things we can do for the good of the environment- believe it or not. .the worms make compost even out of dryer lint~ thanks so much - catpeoples, Apr 22, 2010

XD I was just looking at this and I think your answer might be as strange as the question. It's cool though and I'll give you +1 for teaching me how to say dryer lint. - indysidnarayan, Apr 23, 2010
