What is WORM WORKS?
At Laser Art NYC, we have a lot of cardboard scrap. So I shred it up, add some food scraps and feed it to worms. They chow through it and produce a rich soil ammendment.
This year I've expanded it, and I'm producing enough worm compost for the vegetable farm at Easton Garden Works, while repurposing cardboard waste from several local businesses.
This, friends, is a virtuous cycle.
I wish there was more to say about it, but I guess simple things are just like that.

How did I learn about worm composting?
I use the Urban Worm Bag (seen above). This is an excellent product for worm composting at home. Now that I have my method dialed, I turn out 50 gallons of worm castings per bag per year. For a backyard garden, that's pretty good.
