Vermicomposting is composting with worms. Certain types of worms (the most common is the "red wiggler") love to eat organic wastes. If you give them an opportunity, they will consume all your leftover vegetable and fruit scraps, turning them into a nutrient-rich material called castings. Vermicomposting is usually done indoors, using specially designed plastic containers with lids and drainage holes.

This type of composting is particularly good for people in apartments or other situations where outdoor space is limited or non-existent. For more information, call the RRFB hotline at 1-877-313-RRFB (7732).
