Learn about the value of recycling our food wastes through the use of vermiculture practices. The presentation will begin with a brief overview of natural soil science as God intended it to be. We will pass out a simple yet informative outline of our information. It will include some basic soil facts and introduce the concept of bio diverse practices in everyday living. We will give an overview of the microbial communities that live within our soils and their benefits in helping to balance nature as it was originally intended. The session will introduce the concept of earthworms as a major participant in the process of turning food scraps into valuable soil amendments that can enrich our gardens, plants, and environment. Our staff will demonstrate the steps to setting up a small scale worm factory and the easy management of keeping worms at home. The session will conclude with processing the worm castings into a usable soil amendment that will provide valuable nutrition for plants, shrubs, and orchards.
