Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting (worm farming) is a process of using tiger worms to break down organic materials, such as food scraps, into a biologically active compost that can be used as a soil amendment to improve soil health and fertility.

Acceptable foods can be found on our worm farm poster here.

Why Vermicomposting?

Reducing Waste

Vermicomposting helps to divert organic waste from landfills, where it would otherwise decompose and produce harmful greenhouse gases like methane. By keeping organic waste out of landfills, you can help reduce the environmental impact of waste disposal in our area.
