Join us at Friends of Allan Gardens' Vermicompost Workshop, where we'll provide urban gardeners with everything you need to begin vermicomposting at home.

Vermicomposting involves using worms to turn kitchen and garden waste into compost (worm castings), which improve your garden soil and provide nutrients to plants in a form that they can use almost immediately. Vermicomposting is also the best way to compost indoors, 12 months of the year!

In this workshop, we’ll talk about the concept of vermicomposting, dispel some of the myths, and demonstrate how to build and maintain a vermicompost bin.

Optional: If you'd like to make a vermicomposter to take home, please bring the following supplies:

• 2 plastic nesting bins (Rubbermaid or equivalent) – opaque, to maintain a dark interior (minimum size of 10 liters, optimal size of 38 liters if you have the space for it)

• 1 lid for the top bin

• 1 block of coco coir OR some non-glossy newsprint for shredding

We'll also have a limited number of supplies for purchase, by donation.

This event is by donation/pay-what-you-can at the door.
