VERMICULTURE
HOMESTEADING WORKSHOP: VERMICULTURE
Dr. Michelle Cawthorn, Associate Professor of Biology at Georgia Southern visits the STRL this month to discuss Vermiculture, a big word that simply means worm farming, or, the use of specially bred earthworms to aerate the soil and convert organic matter into compost. Small scale vermiculture has become increasingly popular in the past few years as individuals become aware of the huge advantages of vermiculture and its environmental benefits. Come for an interesting talk and learn how this low cost environmentally friendly practice can benefit the home gardener.
