Worm Composting Workshop
This free worm compost workshop over Zoom will show you how to transform your food scraps into plant food with the help of red wiggler worms. Worm composting is especially useful and easy for anyone with limited space! StopWaste staff, Jeannie Pham, will share all the basics including how to set up a bin, do basic maintenance, troubleshoot and how to harvest the finished fertilizer.
There is a 100-person limit to the class and will be first-come, first-serve (at the time of logging into the webinar). The class will be recorded, posted and shared with all participants in case you miss the event.
