Vermicomposting: A Simple Way to Go Green?

[fallonp321]

Is anyone familiar with Vermicomposting? Using worms to break down biodegradable/compost items to harvest their fertilizer casting? I've been looking into it and thought I'd get some input from people outside my house (my boyfriends no help). There's new systems that make it seem like an easy way to go green, especially since I have a lot of food waste lately trying out new recipes. There's a cool site on it at http://www.urban-worms.com. What do you guys think?

I actually have some experience with vermicomposting and I can say that it is definitely a great way to go green and reduce food waste. I've been doing it for a few years now and my plants have never been healthier. It's also a great way to save money on fertilizer since you can just use the castings from the worms.I haven't checked out the site you mentioned, but I have heard about some new systems that make vermicomposting even easier. I think it's definitely worth giving it a try, especially if you have a lot of food waste from trying out new recipes.If you have any specific questions about vermicomposting, I'd be happy to answer them based on my own experience. Good luck with your green efforts!
