IL Vermicomposting Conference
There’s a vermicomposting conference coming up in Illinios. Here’s the current text. It costs money but will probably be reasonable; I found the 2007 announcement and it was $35.
Composting Symposium: Vermiculture and Beyond – Feb 2, 2009 Feb 9, 2009 (updated Jan 5 2009)
ISA invites you to the 6th Annual Vermicomposting Symposium to be held at the Northfield Inn Suites & Conference Center. This year’s symposium has been expanded and will cover hot compost in addition to vermiculture so there is a little something for everyone from apartment composters to local farmers. Check back soon for a schedule of events and on-line registration.
What is vermicomposting? Vermicomposting is the process of having redworms and other decomposer organisms process our organic waste and turn it into a great natural fertilizer (called vermicompost). Vermicompost contains: worm castings (“vermicastings”), good aerobic compost from other worm bin organisms, and some material (food waste, bedding, etc.) that’s on its way to the worms or other critters. Vermicomposting is easy, requires very few supplies, and can be done by anyone.
Illinois Stewardship Alliance co-sponsors this event with Illinois Department of Agriculture, City of Springfield, and Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
