1.Simple, EASY, Educational & Fun!

From an evidence-based healthcare standpoint, every school and every home should have a garden and a worm bin.

Unlike most of our healthcare needs, this is not due to a lack of scientifically proven benefits, money, or other resources. It is even simpler and takes less time than regular composting (No need for turning, etc.).

Caring for a worm bin is extremely simple and easy and is summarized in just three small labels on your worm bin cover:

That is really all there is to it!

If you wish to create additional worm bins for for yourself or others, or wish additional information, simple guidelines are available on the Creating Your Own Worm Bin page. However, worms adjust their population to the size of their bin. So even if you decide not to share, your worms will be fine.

Vermicomposting provides an easy, interesting, and fun opportunity to meet numerous education as well as healthcare and environmental objectives. Free lesson plans to meet California and other state education objectives are available on the Vermicomposting Curricula & References page.

Vermicomposting is also one of the best ways we have found to promote school, family and community gardens. Evidence-based U.S. national as well as California guidelines emphasize the critical importance of school gardens in resolving our current healthcare crisis. Children who grow vegetables will also eat them. An abundance of excellent free lesson plans to meet California and other state education objectives are available on the School Garden Curricula & References page.
