What ! Vermicomposting also known as worm composting is an incredibly efficient way to convert organic waste material such as kitchen scraps and paper into nutrient rich compost for your garden, flower beds, lawns and house plants.
Why ! Vermicomposting helps cut back on what we throw into our landfills, thus extending the life of our landfills while providing us with a product that far outweighs chemical fertilizers.
Who ! Anyone can do vermicomposting, even someone who has limited physical abilities.
Where ! Vermicomposting can be done anywhere even if you live in a small apartment by using a wooden box, plastic bin or even a hole in the ground and using red worms (not earthworms), shredded paper and scraps from your kitchen.
When ! Vermicomposting can be done year round without having to go outside. It takes very little time, making it something that even people with busy schedules can do.

There are many worn bins on the market today ranging anywhere from $30.00 to accommodate the needs of a small family all the way up to thousands of dollars for an industrial size worm bin that can handle food waste of 100 pounds at a time.
We offer a starter kit for those interested in getting started with vermicomposting. See our kit with pricing information on our order page.
