How to get started with Vermicomposting

Suzette teaches us all about vermicomposting. Landfilling garbage is becoming less and less popular, especially as we are learning about how individuals can help curb climate change.  (And large corporations are most responsible, but we can also put our minds on small steps that we can take too.)  

Most of us think of paper, plastic, and yard waste as garbage, but food waste is a huge percentage of the total waste stream.  

Did you know that food waste contributes to greenhouse gases?  And that by composting with worms, you can efficiently process food waste and turn it into nutrient-dense food for your garden.
