Build-a-Bin Workshop

Have you ever wanted to compost, but didn’t have the space to have an outdoor bin? Fear not, vermicomposting to the rescue! This small-scale indoor composting system is cheap to start up, easy to maintain, and perfect for those in apartments or condos. Whether you just want a refresher on the basics, or have never heard of vermicomposting before, come on out to our workshop to walk away with everything you need to know!

This is a FREE presentation. There is, however, a cost for supplies if you order the materials for your own vermicomposting kit. You’ll receive two Rubbermaid bins, some starter bedding, and a red wriggler worm starter kit (worms, worm eggs, and vermicast). We’ll provide the drills for putting air holes in and walk you through the set up right at the workshop. There are two sizes of bins available for you to choose from (at different costs) depending on how much fruit & vegetable waste you produce and your family size.

This presentation is offered in partnership between Green Action Centre and Greenpeace Winnipeg.
