What is vermicomposting? “Vermi-” means “relating to worms.” Vermicomposting means creating compost by using worms. It’s the art of feeding worms your food scraps. The worms turn your food waste into nutrient-rich organic fertilizer, also known as humus or worm castings, – perfect for gardens, lawns, and potted plants.

It may seem like a daunting task, but it’s actually quite simple.

All you will need are worm bins, some organic waste, bedding materials and worms!!
