SOIL TO SOUL: Indoor Composting with Worms with Johanna Hoffman of Community Compost Company

AKA Home Vermicomposting

Are you interested in harnessing the many benefits of setting up
a worm bin in your home? Earthworms like red wigglers and
Indian blues not only digest food scraps that would otherwise be
destined for the landfill, they produce worm castings (worm
poop)--an excellent soil amendment.
Learn the ins and outs of vermicomposting! In this workshop
we’ll explain how worms digest organic material and create
worm castings, what worms can and can’t eat, how to set up and
maintain your worm bin at home, and how to harvest and use
vermicompost to enrich your soil and boost the health of plants.
Each participant can build a basic worm bin during the workshop. Materials and worms will be
Provided.
