SUMMARY:Vermiomposting
DESCRIPTION:Join us in making Vermicomposters from simple plastic bins to turn food scraps into “black gold” or rich compost.\n\n\n(Pre-registration required at least 24 hours in advance to participate in the event) \nTurn 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. \n \nThe workshop will be held in a heated greenhouse\, all materials and worms will be provided. \n \nPresenter Bio \nAnamaya Farthing-Kohl started a roof garden in Mexico City in 2014\, where they fell in with vermicomposting. They had a surplus of castings and worm tea and started gifting and selling bottles of “lombripis” (worm juice) in the Lagunilla market in Mexico City. Anamaya is a maker and solver of problems through diverse methods and materials.
