How to Compost with Worms

Have you ever thought about starting a worm farm in your home or garden? Compost worms are magical beings. They take your organic waste and transform it into black gold. Worms are one of the hardest workers in our soil system. But of course, since they are living beings, worms need the right conditions and care to stay alive.

In this meetup, we will start a new worm compost at the Kaskantine, through which you can learn the information and skills needed to set up your compost system. We will discuss the basic needs of worms and build the worm box.

We will also discuss what worms eat, how their system is built and what kind of house they need.

In this ‘learning by doing’ meetup, you will also have the opportunity to discuss knowledge, skills, and strategies with people that are also composting or gardening beginners and want to learn together.

What to bring:

Your kitchen scraps in a box or bucket, appropriate clothing. We have gloves.

About the meeting location

* The Kaskantine is still under construction, so we don't have an inside space that we can use yet!

The meetup will be in the garden. Check the weather at the day of the meetup

If the weather does not permit outdoor meetings and if we can't find an alternative venue, we will need to postpone the meetup.
