Worm composting or vermicomposting is the use of earthworms to convert organic waist into fertilizer. Worms eat two times their body weight each day! Composting is important because we need help putting nutrients back into the soil. The fertilizer is worm poop; other wise known as worm castings and is concidered to be one of the best soil amendments possible. In worm composting, the worms added to the bin will multiply and fill the space. You can then split them in half and have two bins as they constantly reproduce when in a healthy environment. 

Our red wigglers have been calling our Michigan basement home for roughly 4 years. They do not stink or cause bugs when they are properly cared for; and this workshop will teach you tricks and tips to aviod these problems at home.

One way to stay grounded and connected to the Earth durring those long winter months is to work with your worms!
