How does Natasha Nicholes incorporate vermiculture techniques in her gardening?

Hi there! I’m Natasha Nicholes.

I incorporate vermiculture by keeping a vermicomposting bin where worms break down my kitchen scraps into rich castings for the garden. I feed them things like banana and apple peels, carrot skins, and eggshells, and then use the finished compost to improve soil in both my backyard and community garden.

I also involve my kids, letting them observe the worms, learn how they decompose food, and even troubleshoot escapes when the bin gets crowded or conditions aren’t right. It becomes both a soil-building tool and a hands-on science lesson.

Would you like tips on starting your own simple vermicompost bin at home?
