Composting with Worms
Randi Mail, Director of Recycling for the City of Cambridge, had an attentive audience as she explained the steps for creating one's own indoor worm composting bin. Most people who attended were thinking about starting their own worm bins. At the end of the program there was a raffle to give away a ready-to-use worm bin.
The use of a worm bin greatly reduces the amount of garbage that has to be taken to a landfill. In addition, the decomposed vegetable material makes an excellent potting medium when mixed with potting soil, and the liquids generated by the process is a highly nutritious fertilizer.
