Co-operative Extension workshop: Composting with Worms

Do you realize that about 1/3 of our kitchen scraps ends up in the garbage? On March 31, at 6 pm, WSU Master Gardener Art Fuller will describe how to harness the power of worms to recycle food waste and create an amazing soil amendment for our gardens.

Participants will be building and assembling worm bins, and will receive a starter pack of red wiggler worms to get their worm "farms" started. There is a $30 fee/family (with one worm bin) for this workshop sponsored by Washington State University Extension Master Gardeners. Class is limited to 30 families.

The class will be held at the Cowlitz Event Center in the Fairgrounds in Longview, at the corner of Washington St. and 7th Ave. in Longview. Please pre-register by March 27 and pay prior to the workshop. For more information, contact Carlee Dowell at 577-3014 Ext 0 or DowellC@co.cowlitz.wa.us.
