Learn about the fascinating world of worms!
This class will teach you to use worms to turn organic waste into nutrient-rich soil amendments (castings) for plants – called vermicomposting! This program will cover setup, maintenance, worm care, and managing the bin (with options from beginner home setups to commercial business courses). You'll learn to build worm habitats, understand worm anatomy, create "worm tea," reduce kitchen waste sustainably, and receive a starter kit filled with worms.
This program is provided in partnership with: Kankakee River Valley Forest Preserve District.
