From Scraps to Soil: Vermicomposting Made Simple
This session is perfect for sustainability-minded gardeners ready to harness the power of worms! You will discover the fundamentals of vermicomposting and its powerful benefits for soil health and garden productivity. Participants will get hands-on guidance for creating and maintaining a simple worm bin – turning everyday kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich “garden gold”, a valuable, closed loops garden resource.
The People Behind the Worms
My name is Callie. I am first a mother, second a nurse, and–somewhat unintentionally–have become a worm enthusiast.
Our journey began five years ago with 500 “squirmy wormies” living in a bin in our kitchen. What started as a simple introduction to vermicomposting in pursuit of sustainability quickly grew into an abundance of worms, lots of worm poop (castings), and two curious young minds (children, not worms) with a deep appreciation for small but mighty creatures and the environment they call home.
What began as a small-scale learning experiment has since evolved into a thriving vermicomposting practice and a desire to share this knowledge with our community. Through hands-on education and accessible workshops, I now help people of all ages discover the environmental, soil, and garden benefits of vermicomposting–and how even small actions can create meaningful change… and wonder.
From our kitchen to your garden, this is about learning, sustainability, and letting worms do what they do best while we reap the many benefits.
