Small food market on Kirkwood Hwy to host worm-composting workshop on Tuesday.

I feel like I haven't been posting anywhere near the number of outdoors/gardening/green posts I was doing a couple of weeks ago, but here's a good one to make up for the lapse:  Delaware Local Food Exchange, which is a small, local-foods market within a health food store on Kirkwood Highway, and an endearing endeavor besides, is hosting a "vermaculture workshop", dealing in the subject of compost-by-worms. 

This workshop will take place on Tuesday, at 2400 Kirkwood Hwy (inside the "Nature's Way" store, at the southern end of Elsmere near 141), from 5-6pm.   Technically you were supposed to pre-register by the end of the day Saturday (which is the first I heard of it), but it sounds as if there are still a few spots open, so call 302-358-1042 if interested.  It does cost $30, but this gets you a worm composting kit. 

Their blurb:

" Worm Composting or "vermaculture" is a great way to compost on a small scale. Worm composting is faster than traditional composting, has no odor, is ideal for indoor composting, and is a great way for kids to learn about the composting process and to have a super, low maintenance pet!

Join the Exchange as we welcome worm composting e...xpert Dr. Susan Rubin www.drsusanrubin.com. Dr. Rubin will lead us in a hands on workshop where we will learn about the importance of composting and the best way to make a productive worm composting system as we prepare our bins for our worms. Each participant will leave with their own bin of worms ready to compost your household produce scraps in to highly nutrient dense, non toxic fertilizer that will help plants flourish and resist pests.

Where: The Exchange (inside Nature's Way)
2400 Kirkwood Hwy., Wilmington 19805

When: Tuesday, May 24th 5:00-6:00pm

Cost: $30.00 includes workshop and your own bin of worms ready to
take home and start composting.

How: Pre-register at the Exchange during open hours (thur 1-6, fri 1-7, sat 10-5) until
Saturday, May 21st. If you can't make it to the Exchange but would like
