Vermicomposting (composting with worms) is a great way to recycle food scraps to make a fantastic soil amendment. You can set up a worm bin inside your house for little money, and a worm bin doesn’t require the space needed for an outdoor compost pile. Don’t worry; there is no smell. Laurie Taylor, Iowa Master Gardener and owner of Living Treasures Flower Farm, will walk you through the steps to set up a worm bin, what to feed your worms, what not to feed your worms, and maintenance of your worm bin. Laurie has been a worm farmer for 9 years and has helped many people set up their own worm bins at home and in classrooms. She will gladly answer any questions you may have.
