Ready to take your home gardening to the next level?  Want to compost but don’t have room?  Looking for a year round source of fertilizer?  Vermiculture, or worm composting, may be the answer for you.  Newport News Master Gardener, Dale Timmer, will be hosting a Vermiculture workshop at Go Green Expo.  Learn about the benefits of raising worms in your own home and walk away with your own complete worm composting bin.  Your kids will LOVE this workshop!  A link will be provided to show how to assemble your kit.

The cost to participate in this workshop is only $25 per bin, and will be held in the Pavilion of the Brittingham Center, November 7th.  Kits will be available at 12:00 pm.  Register early by calling the Newport News Virginia Cooperative Extension Office at 757-591-4838.  If you choose to participate in this event, please be aware that you will need to take your compost bin home in a vehicle large enough to accommodate a 12 gallon storage container.   If you prefer, you may pay for your registration now by using the Buy Now button below.  You may also mail your check to our office address below.
