Vermicomposting involves setting up some type of container (the worm bin), filling it with moist bedding materials, introducing worms and feeding them on a regular basis, monitoring the conditions in the bin, and adding food, water, and more bedding as the conditions warrant.
It sounds simple and it basically is. However, worms are living creatures and attention does need to be paid to ensure that their living environment meets their needs.
The Authority's own Worm Lady will come to your classroom to help you set up a bin. You and your students will learn lots of fun facts about worms and everything you need to know to maintain the worm bin. To schedule a workshop, call Cecilia at (510) 215-3021. (Fall and winter only! We can come back in spring to help you harvest the castings!)
