Worm composting is a method for recycling food scraps into a nutrient rich soil amendment. This
is done in an enclosed box that houses the worms. The worms will eat about half their weight
in food each day.
One advantage of worm composting is that it can be done indoors and outdoors,
thus facilitating year round composting. It also provides apartment dwellers and others with
limited outdoor space a means of composting.
CSWD provides worms for educational projects. If you would like to begin vermicomposting at home please visit the web pages listed below.
