Vermicomposting (Worm Composting)

VermiPRO model 16 was recently displayed at the Orange County Fair, Costa Mesa, California. A stackable-tray design vermicomposting unit that is an effective way to process your organic food wastes. It is even usable indoors as it is an odorless process. The unit is available from VermiPro with an excellent description of how it works. There are also many other online distributors.

I would suggest checking into vermicomposting (composting utilizing various species of worms, usually red wigglers [Eisenia foetida]). It is an effective, easy way to turn many types of kitchen waste into a nutritious soil for plants.

An easy entry point to a site detailing many aspects of vermicomposting is http://vermicomposters.ning.com/profile/EdRountree.
