Backyard Composting with Vermiculture

Composting Education Workshop Series: Vermiculture Composting
This workshop is one of four hands-on composting classes focused on different composting systems: vermicomposting, bokashi, hot composting, and cold composting. This session takes a deeper dive into vermiculture, an indoor-friendly method using worms to recycle food scraps into nutrient-rich compost.

Participants will learn what vermiculture is, how the system works, and how it differs from other composting methods. Through guided instruction and hands-on learning, you’ll explore the full vermiculture process—from setup to use—while building realistic expectations for how it can work in your own home to divert food scraps and organic waste from the landfill.

What you’ll learn:

• What vermiculture is and how worms transform food scraps into compost
• How to set up a worm bin, including DIY options
• Step-by-step guidance on managing the system
• Common troubleshooting tips and how to avoid common mistakes
• How to make your own compost tea to boost soil health
