Have you been curious about vermicomposting? Maybe you have tried before but need a refresher. No matter your experience, join the City of Santa Cruz Waste Reduction Staff for a workshop all about vermicomposting! In this workshop, we will build a vermicomposting bin together, discuss best practices for maintaining a bin, and look at strategies for reducing wasted food and why it matters. Plus, enter our raffle to be eligible to win a free worm bin!

Castings or “black gold” created from worm composting systems offer a hefty dose of healthy microorganisms and other benefits for your garden and soils. Caring for a worm bin gives you gold for your garden and can contribute to a sense of well-being.

If you already have a worm bin that could use some attention, feel free to sign up and bring your questions and photos! We will have time to discuss and learn from each other as a group. The City also offers a compost rebate so you can get a worm bin of your own. Hope to see you there!
