Vermicomposting,
or worm composting, is an excellent way to convert household garbage
into nutrient rich fertilizer. Composting with specialty worms known
as Red Wigglers is a clean and environmentally friendly way to save
tonnes of waste from going to landfill.

Why Everyone Should be Vermicomposting
- If you Vermicompost you will reduce the amount of
garbage being transported out of the province - The
average Canadian produces a tonne of waste each year. Estimated
1/2 to 1/3 of household waste is organic matter.
- Worms produce beautiful black castings -
a nitrogen rich natural fertilizer. Totally organic and one
of the best soil additives on the planet. Use worm castings
in house plants and gardens.
- Odourless when operating effectively - worms
eat decomposing matter, therefore eating away any nauseous odours
and leaving a fresh earthy smell.
"Good intentions and expressions of concern are not
enough. Protecting the environment is the most serious challenge
we face today. Every Canadian can and must get involved, not just
today, but every day."
Dr. Roberta Bondar(1994)
