The instructor will demonstrate and assist as beginners set up their own worm bins. After the worm bins are assembled then the instructor will give his “Worm Talk.” The talk covers the following subjects: What is Vermiculture and Worm Composting and how is it different from regular composting? Why do it? What are the benefits? What are the main things to consider before trying? What is important for worms to thrive? What are the main problems encountered and how to avoid (or correct if necessary.) The registration fee for this class include a follow-up “Harvest” workshop. The instructor returns 3 to 4 months after the initial workshop to assist with the first harvest of each student’s worm bin. All the alumni of the workshop gather for their “First Harvest”. They are sometimes joined by “senior alumni” that are there for the 2nd, 3rd…. Harvest. There is a limit of 5 households for this class. Multiple members of the same household may attend the class, but there will only be 5 worm bins available to take home. Only one household member needs to register and pay the registration fee.
