Vermicomposting Hershey Style

All this month, we are discovering the origins of soil in Hershey Children’s Garden. One of our most popular features is our vermicomposting (worm composting for short) unit.  I will not go into detail of how this system works beyond mentioning to always provide good drainage, moisture retention (they are not mutually exclusive) and feed them good vegetable (and egg shell) matter like lettuce, mushy carrots and fruit.

To learn more about worm composting and the wonderful world of wiggly worms, visit the Garden this spring.
