Come wiggle your way to our fall worm composting workshop at the Green Acres Center in Fairfax, VA on Saturday, October 4th from 2-4pm!
At this workshop, you will learn tips and tricks for successfully composting with worms and build your own worm composter to take home. See NVSWCD’s worm composting bin in action and get all your composting questions answered. Each worm composter will include two stacking bins, worm bedding (a mix of compost, shredded paper, and coconut coir), and red wiggler worms. The completed bins will be roughly 15 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 20 inches tall in size. Please make sure you have a place to keep your worm bins inside when temperatures drop (a garage or basement will do). While we will have all the tools at the workshop to build your bin, please consider bringing a cordless drill and drill bits if you have them to speed up the process. You can also bring in a week’s-worth of kitchen trimmings to get your worm composter off to an immediate start! This workshop is co-sponsored by NVSWCD, Clean Fairfax Council, Pollinative, and City of Fairfax.
The registration fee is $10 for each worm bin, and you can bring as many helpers with you as you like. This workshop is generously supported with funding from Clean Fairfax Council and City of Fairfax. Please note that workshop registration fees are non-refundable.
