Vermicomposting is a type of composting that uses worms, typically red wigglers, to convert food scraps and other organic waste into nutrient-rich vermicompost (worm castings) and worm tea. It's a sustainable practice that reduces waste, enriches soil, and provides a natural fertilizer for plants.

Come and explore composting with worms - nature's recyclers!
