The instructor will demonstrate and assist as beginners set up their own worm bins (limit five households – one worm bin per household.)

No limit on the number of individuals but they all need to be from the first 5 households to register. Everyone has to pay the registration fee (children are welcome and free) 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 remediate if necessary.)

The instructor takes contact information (phone numbers and email addresses) from each household and then stays in contact with them for a year or more until they reach a point of self-reliance. 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 their 2nd, 3rd…harvest.

First Harvest for this class is in 3 to 4 months: Tuesday, March 11, 2025, 6 to 8 PM
