Description

Are you tired of throwing your food waste in the landfill? Would you like a nutrient-rich fertilizer for your garden or houseplants? Then expand your recycling efforts and minimize food waste by signing up for this Composting with Worms workshop! In this workshop, you will learn the ins and outs of composting and walk away with everything you need to know to create, care for, and maintain your very own composting bin. Each participant will build their own composting bin to take home! Americans produce millions of tons of trash every year, and food waste & yard debris account for a third of it. When organic waste enters a landfill, it becomes a problem, because as it decomposes it releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. When food waste is composted, it becomes a resource instead -- one that improves soil quality and the nutrient density of new food it's used to grow! Composting with worms (aka vermicomposting) is a simple method that can be done indoors or outdoors and in small spaces like apartments. In this workshop you will learn: The many household and environmental benefits of composting; The pros and cons of different types of composting methods; Why composting with worms is so simple and effective; How to create, care for, and maintain a simple worm composting bin; How to harvest and use your compost. What's included in the workshop: Step-by-step instructions and demonstration on how to build a simple worm composting bin; A complete, ready-to-use worm bin to take home; Composting cheat sheet and instructional handouts; Additional 1-on-1 support after the workshop as needed
