VERMICOMPOSTING WORKSHOP
Worm Your Way into Compost with the PA Resources Council
While they require a bit more care than bin composting, worms produce a product( castings) that is considered an especially good soil amendment and nutrient source, and if sheltered from the cold can maintain production year-round. Learn about the benefits of worm composting, how to house, feed, harvest, and care for your own worms! You will build a complete, ready-to-use vermiculture system – including the worms- to take home at the end of the workshop.
The cost is $ 70 per person, $ 75 for couples. Saturday, October 13th 12:30-2pm At Ross Community Center

Learn all about composting with red wigglers and how to create a worm box!
