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)
Are the worms right for your cottage?
Do you have a cottage? Are you on the watershed?
You may need worms. Did you know that adding worms to your outhouse
or pit toilet can increase its efficiency.
Many cottagers are not happy campers.
Why? Because they have had to close down their backyard composters
for fear of attracting bears. We have a solution for you. Bring
your composting indoors. Consider composting inside the cottage
with worms! You can still carry on composting and you will not tempt
the bears. These wonderful worms will even continue their job of
turning your organic waste into castings while you wile away your
time back in the city. |
