Fort Collins Vermicomposting Information
May 12th, 2009
The Fort Collins city government has a page devoted to worm composting:
Worm composting or vermicomposting is a suitable composting option for apartment dwellers and homes with no yard space, and is also a great classroom activity. The worms stay in the bin and eat household food scraps, and the bin has no odor if properly maintained.
Everything from worm bin construction to harvesting to what to feed your worms is covered.
There is also a compost worm exchange page and a worm exchange Yahoo! group:
The Compost Worm Exchange is easy to use and provides a medium for those who want to obtain compost worms with those who have compost worms to give. The Worm Exchange also matches those who are seeking advice on vermicomposting (composting with worms) with those who have the know-how and expertise. All you have to do is ask!
Go Fort Collins!

I didn’t know much about this until I read an article about a school starting their own worm bin to compost leftover cafeteria food. Kids learn and are helping the environment. They’ve inspired me to at least be more watchful of my food waster.
