Using Worms in Compost
Worm composting is a method for recycling food waste into a rich soil conditioner thereby allowing us to return badly needed organic matter to the earth. The worms consume organic matter, which passes through its body. The end result is vermicompost (worm compost) that is perfect for a garden.
Best of all, this process can be done year round both indoors and outdoors in relatively small spaces. The following is a list of worm compost suppliers located in California, organized alphabetically by county.
