Last night's hands-on vermiculture workshop was a hit. Instructor Marian Woodard taught participants about keeping specific species of worms to decompose plant waste at home. The worms' nutrient-rich castings (poop) yield better gardening results, and their tunneling and ingesting behavior creates porous soil for better drainage and aeration. Each participant made their own worm bin "hotel" with 10-gallon bins (generously donated by Bill's Ace Hardware Store and drilled by Marian), damp shredded newspapers, grated organic carrot, and, of course, lots of fresh, wriggly worms!

If you haven’t attended a workshop that educate something weird yet cool stuff to people, then you pjs go here! We might not know it but there are thousands of work species that we should know. In this one, they are keeping specific species of worms to decompose plant waste at home. I think, this has to so with gardening stuff, that is why if you are into planting flowers and other plants, it is suggested that you must sign in for this workshop. You will learn a lot.
