A new workshop at LSC will show you how a squiggly little creature can recycle your leftover food scraps and turn them into rich fertilizer for your vegetable garden and houseplants.

As an offshoot of their Green 101 Lecture Series, Lake Superior College will host a Green 101 Worm Composting Workshop on Saturday, May 30 at 10 a.m. in room E2018.

Presenter and LSC biology instructor Theresa Hornstein will work with participants to construct a worm bin for indoor composting at home. She’ll also discuss specifics on worm composting (also known as “vermicomposting”), composting indoors and worm care.

For the past 12 years, Hornstein has worked with the Lake Superior College vermicomposting greenhouse, which is a hub for recycling kitchen scraps and coffee grounds.

There is a $15 fee for the event, which covers the cost of the bin, screening and starter kit.
