 Worm Composting in Santa Cruz County
Let worms eat your garbage! They will happily turn
it into some of the best fertilizer on earth—worm
compost, otherwise known as worm castings or vermicompost.
Vermicomposting is a fascinating, fun and easy
way to recycle your food scraps. A worm bin requires
very little work, produces no offensive odors and provides
worm castings that help plants thrive. Composting
with worms saves money on garbage bills, improves the
fertility and water-holding capacity of garden soil,
benefits the environment by recycling valuable organic
materials, and helps solve the crisis of over-flowing
landfills.
The four basic steps to worm composting are: Getting
Started, Feeding
Your Worms, Maintaining
a Worm Bin, Harvesting
Worm Compost.
 If
worm boxes don't thrill you, don't despair! There are
other great ways to recycle food waste: Homemade
Food Scrap Composter and Burying
Food Scraps.
