Join Amanda Hunter, the Worm Wrangler for this workshop about how to vermicompost – composting with help from earth worms! You will learn how to turn your food scraps into valuable worm castings to help your garden and houseplants thrive in an efficient and tidy enough manner that you’ll be able to do it in the house! During this workshop, you will learn about the benefits of vermicomposting, how to set up a vermicomposting system, and tips for keeping your worms happy and healthy (and your worm bin for getting gross). We’ll set up your new vermicompost bin together, talking about each part that goes into it and how to manage each component going forward.
