Worms Eat Your Garbage - June Library Classes

The UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners are giving Vermicomposting Classes in June that will be fun for the WHOLE family! 

Vermicomposting is the process of using red wiggler worms* to help eat kitchen scraps. Join us for this class to learn interesting facts about these worms, how to make your own “worm hotel,” and which foods the red wiggler worms eat that can help turn your kitchen scraps into compost for your garden!  

In addition to presenting information about vermicomposting, you'll be able to “meet” a few live worms and see them in action in a worm bin. Kids of all ages will love "meeting" the worms, so be sure to bring them. We hope you can attend at one of these local Stanislaus County Library locations: 

*earthworms don't like to be disturbed, so they are not used for vermicomposting.
