January 22- Vermicomposting- Kim Fox
Learn about setting up a worm bin or other small vermicompost operations. Unlike regular composting which uses heat and heat tolerant microbes to break down organic waste, vermicomposting uses red wiggler worms (Eisenia fetida) to break downs wastes through digestion. Research has shown that the vermicompost from this process has a beneficial effect on plant growth and soil health. Kim Fox was a consultant for Inch-by-Inch Worm Castings, sold worm composting systems and conducted workshops in Tucson AZ. She attended the 2017 International vermaculture conference.
