Come to this free Worm Compost workshop this weekend, and discover an amazing way to recycle fruit and vegetable scraps. The workshop is hands-on and user friendly! Worm composting is a fun and easy way to recycle fruit and vegetable scraps using redworms in an enclosed bin. Redworms eat kitchen scraps and turn them into a high quality fertilizer. Worm composting is for food waste only, and is especially appropriate for people with little or no yard space. With ordinary kitchen trimmings, home composters can make a rich fertilizer. Using homemade compost will cut down on the amount of fertilizer and water we need to use on our soils. Compost makes soil more fertile and helps gardens and lawns become healthy and lush. There will be a drawing for a free worm bin at the end of the class. The worm workshop will be presented by staff from the Bay-Friendly Gardening program of Alameda County.
