All About Composting With Worms Workshop – El Cajon

Vermicomposting (worm composting) has benefits for everyone, whether you want to divert kitchen scraps from the landfill, compost in small spaces, or create a natural fertilizer for your plants. Join us at the lovely Water Conservation Garden to learn how to start and maintain a happy home for red wiggler worms.    

All workshop attendees will have free entry into the Garden, which can be explored following the workshop. All pre-registered attendees who are residents of unincorporated San Diego County can receive a free kitchen scraps container. 

In this workshop, we will cover:

• Benefits of composting with worms
• Tools, materials, and steps to start a vermicompost bin
• How to feed your worms and which foods are suitable
• Troubleshooting and maintaining your worm bin
• Harvesting and using finished castings

Vermicomposting benefits for your garden and living a greener life include:

• Savings on purchased worm castings and soil amendments 
• Fewer food scraps heading to landfills
• Increased soil health & a more robust soil microbiome
• Increased water retention in soil
