Community Education-Worm Bin Project

In partnership with the Compost Education Centre (CEC), the VHS is funding the purchase of
100 compost bins/worms for distribution to non-profits and schools.

These bins will supply everything needed to get started with vermiculture.

More information on vermicomposting can be found here:

For more information, or if you know of a group which would like to receive one of these bins, please contact us at centenary@vichortsociety.org and we will put you in contact with the CEC.

We launched our worm bin project, together with our partner the Compost Education Centre, on August 25th. Here is a brief photo-essay of the event [photographs courtesy of M. Adams and P. McGuire]
