Worms are magic! Did you know that worms can eat half of their body weight in a day, so a pound of worms can process ½ lb. of food scraps every day. Our onsite vermicomposting systems are filled with worms. Anyone and everyone is invited to add their food scraps to the bins. The best foods for worms come from plants. This includes grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans. Plant matter is filled with nutrients and vitamins that worms need. Please cut everything into small pieces, with a knife or food processor before you add it.

Worm Castings

Our worm casting harvest went swimmingly and we have some delicious nuggets of goodness for you to add as a top dressing to your garden. Top dressing refers to the application of worm castings right on top of the soil. Just sprinkle a handful right where the roots go into the ground (about a 1/2" 2-3x a year is sufficient). Then, the nutrients filter down with the water and feed the plant. This is the easiest way to apply worm castings as it requires no measuring or mixing. This can be done 2-3 times a year in spring, summer and fall.

Purchase Worm Castings

You can also use worm castings in your container plants and indoor plants. Using worm castings for container and indoor plants can reduce the amount of time you need to water it, which also lowers your risk of root rot.

Worm castings are $15 for a large grocery bag (roughly 10 lbs) and includes some worms:-) Email us to arrange a time to pick some up. BYOBag.

Adding your Food Scraps to the Community Worm Bins

Please keep adding your food scraps to our worm bins (and email, call or text to let me know you are using them so I can keep track:-). And please remember to cut things up as small as possible and remove any plastic and stickers (this is our biggest challenge so far:-). We will be building more worm bins as more people join the club. We will be monitoring them and will keep you posted of any updates or changes. Email us to join the Worm Composting Club.
