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
