After this workshop you'll be able to create rich soil for starting seeds, amending your vegetable garden, increasing your soil health; plus, you’ll be able to recycle most food waste into fishing bait (worms) while improving the environment (lower greenhouse gases)!
Most food scraps are thrown away! By taking this workshop, you can work towards a better future for the planet. Learn to recycle your food scraps at home. It's a great "all hands on deck" type activity to interact with the family and it is a positive example to set for our youth.
In addition there are many lucrative outlets for composters. Red Wigglers are not only themselves valuable for soil building, fish bait, or composting, but their castings, or waste excrement can sell for top-dollar.
Your ticket purchase includes:
1 x 5 gal worm bin with custom fly-proof top and 2 lbs. red wiggler worms1 x hardwire cage for outdoor compostingEnough wood chips to supply you for 6 months.
