Full description:

This workshop is suitable for beginners and seasoned composters wanting to brush up on their knowledge. We will look at a variety of composting methods and home uses for your finished products.

Backyard composting . . . What is it? How does it work? How do I start? Learn with hands-on learning through interactive demonstrations. Tools and techniques for successful backyard composting will be explained.

Residents are encouraged to compost in their own backyard. Keeping food scraps, yard waste and other organics out of the landfill and composting them in your own backyard is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint.

Plus, you will get beautiful compost to use for your own plants and flowers.

While not strictly related to vermiculture, composting is another useful way of turning waste into gold. They also will be selling the square compost bins, that I use as my worm bin, at a discount.
