Saturday February 7th Worm Composting Workshop Green Acres Center
2:00pm - 4:00 pm
4401 Sideburn Rd., Fairfax VA, 22030

At this workshop, you will learn tips and tricks for successfully composting with worms and build your own worm composter to take home. See NVSWCD’s worm composting bin in action and get all your composting questions answered. Each worm composter will include two 17-gallon stacking bins, worm bedding (a mix of compost, shredded paper, and coconut coir), and red wiggler worms. The completed bins will be roughly 27 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 18 inches tall in size. Please make sure you have a place to keep your worm bins inside when temperatures drop (a garage or basement will do). While we will have all the tools at the workshop to build your bin, please consider bringing a cordless drill and drill bits if you have them to speed up the process. You can also bring in a week’s-worth of kitchen trimmings to get your worm composter off to an immediate start! This workshop involves using power tools; children are welcome to attend when joined by an adult 18 years of age or older. This workshop is co-sponsored by NVSWCD, Clean Fairfax Council, Pollinative, and City of Fairfax.

This workshop is generously supported with funding from Clean Fairfax Council and City of Fairfax, with the purpose of educating and engaging the public in local composting efforts. You must attend the workshop to purchase a worm composter - they are not sold separately from workshop attendance.

Please note that workshop registration fees are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend the workshop after registration is complete, your worm composter will be donated for educational use.  Price: $10.00 Available:
