WHO THIS IS FOR
This is a program for those who want to learn the craft of worm composting to compost some of their vegetative kitchen waste. Worms are like pets. They have likes, dislikes and temperaments. You may not be able to compost all of your kitchen waste. There are restrictions on what and how much worms will eat.
​
PROGRAM COST
  • $50 refundable deposit for your trial size working worm bin.
Deposit will be returned to you when you bring back your worm bin in working condition with the worms alive. Return your      worm box if you change your mind, move out of town or if this new hobby of yours is leading to serious marital problems. :)
Return your trial worm bin when you become a pro and get your deposit back or upgrade for free to a family size worm bin.
