October 7 Meeting- Topic: Worm Composting

Join us at the Britannia Community Centre in the 55+ Room at 7:00pm on October 7

Topic: Worm  Composting 
Speaker: Jenny Arntzen 
Bio: Jenny Arntzen is a novice gardener, having started her first garden at the age of 8, in 1964, in Lynn Valley. She has always had a great passion for digging up the beds, never really understood planting seeds, and still learning how to build watering routines. However, after planting over a million trees between 1975 and 1988, she is pretty good at transplanting. Two years ago she was introduced to vermaculture, the practice of worm composting. The worm castings provide rich soil amendments to support plant growth. After purchasing a handful of worms and cocoons in the spring of 2022, her worm farm now is 12 large bins producing continuous harvests of worm castings for building soil health.
Jenny writes about her gardening experiences on her blog:
