Ep. 106 - Introduction to Vermicomposting (Worm Farming!)

One thing I’ve been interested in starting for quite some time is vermicomposting, or worm farming, or composting with worms. Whatever you want to call it, composting with worms is a fantastic way to get rid of any food scraps out of your kitchen while creating a beautiful soil amendment for your garden. Having a worm bin in the basement where it can be easily accessed is a great way to give those scraps from the kitchen a purpose much more quickly than if we were adding them to a big compost pile outside. Today we talk all about the basics of worm farming: how to build a bin, what to add, how many worms and what type, and more! Question of the week: How to time the tomato harvest (spoiler alert: it depends!).
