Intro to VermiComposting
2PM - 4PM
Cost for Workshop: $20
Cost for Worm Composting Kit: $20
Transforming food waste into nutritious fertilizer for the soil is easy through the process of VermiComposting, or Worm Composting. By collaborating with Red Wriggler worms, masses of waste can be diverted from the landfill, while producing fertilizer of the highest quality for our indoor and outdoor plants. Learn from The Cutting Veg Organic Farm the basics of VermiComposting, and make your ecological footprint a positive one. This workshop will include everyone making their own VermiComposter (Indoor Worm bin) to take home. This is a quick and simple process, and the VermiComposters will be ready to use right away.
Payment Due With RSVP [2 options]
The fee for the workshop is $20. If you would like to go home with a worm kit the cost is an additional $20.
