Jana and I were able to join the very inspiring UA Students for Sustainability at their community garden for a vermiculture workshop the other day. What's vermiculture, you ask? As we discovered at the workshop, it is putting earthworms to work processing food waste to create high-quality compost in a short period of time.
Next, we wet down some shredded newspaper...
and put it in the tub.
and then cover up the bin to keep the earthworms cool and to keep the compost from drying out too much.
Now that we know how easy it is, we can't wait to try out some vermiculture ourselves. Hmm...we have that old wheelbarrow we don't use anymore...
It was so fun hanging out with the student gardeners and learning another way to keep trash out of our landfills!
