Saturday 6 Sept: Wonderful Worms! A worm composting workshop.

Have you ever wondered what to do with your leftovers? Are you intrigued by the wonderful world of worms?

Saturday 6 September

2pm – 4pm

Land off Boothen Road, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 4AH

When you arrive at the gates there will be an A-board sign saying Open, please walk right and in towards the containers.

Come along to the Brilliant Bamboo Brownfield Parklet to learn how to build your own wormery and make top-notch compost out of your food waste, by building the Brilliant Bamboo wormery.

A fun afternoon with worm farmers Emma and Sam – suitable for all. 

Together we will…

  • build our own worm farm from easy-to-find containers
  • learn what ‘vermicompost’ is and how it compares with regular compost
  • find out how best to feed your worm-friends (and what not to feed them!)
  • explore what worm compost can do for your soil and plant health 

No need to book, drop-in. Free, although donations are welcome.

Two plants in hands with roots showing, one with better roots improved by vermiculture compost.
Check out the roots on this! On the left is a plant grown with vermicompost, on the right with regular compost.
