Worms eat decaying food waste and produce vermicompost, a very effective soil supplement. The worms will produce both a liquid fertilizer and worm castings (a fancy name for worm poop). Worm poop is the best compost! It is a solid, odor free byproduct of worm digestion. You can collect your worm castings periodically and use them as a soil addition, soil conditioner, or even light mulch.

All Contra Costa County residents are welcome. Make sure to reserve your place today! To learn more about recycling or composting, just go to https://www.cccrecycle.org/
