Vermiomposting

(Pre-registration required at least 24 hours in advance to participate in the event)

Turn your food scraps into “black gold” with us! Join our hands-on workshop to create Vermicomposters from simple plastic bins and discover the magic of turning leftovers into rich, nutritious compost. With the help of hardworking earthworms and microorganisms, your food scraps will transform into worm castings—a powerhouse of nutrients, boasting 7 times more phosphates, 5 times more nitrogen, and 11 times more potash than your average soil. Plus, the “compost tea” produced during the process can be used as a nutritious liquid fertilizer, ideal for potted plants and seedlings. Just remember, your worms thrive best between 60–80°F, so make sure you’ve got a cozy winter spot ready for your vermicomposters.

The workshop will be held in a heated greenhouse, all materials and worms will be provided.
