Join Master Gardener Guy Duran to learn how to turn your kitchen scraps into Black Gold! Vermiculture is the process of maintaining composting worms to create your own worm castings. Worm castings are pricey to purchase, but actually cheap to make. A small initial investment can return a payoff for years. Free at Farm2Market at Alameda Point (2600 Barber’s Point Road, Alameda, CA 94501).
After discussing the basics of vermiculture, there will be a ‘gather round’ presentation where Guy will bring his ‘4 stage’ active worm bin to demonstrate the stage by stage the progression of worm activity. We will also fabricate a similar worm farm as the one being demonstrated. Guy will bring everything needed for this project.
- Rain or shine (pop up tents available).
- Families are welcome.
- Porta Potty available.
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- Bring water, sunscreen and a hat.
