This DeCal will focus on providing an introduction into the benefits of composting while taking a look at how vermicomposting differs from traditional composting by visiting the worm bin at Clark Kerr Gardens. Some topics covered will be the history and science of composting, worm anatomy, the harm caused by artificial fertilizers, and how to create your own worm bin at home. The course is very relaxed and encourages collaboration. There are weekly quizzes for attendance with discussion posts to make up if needed. There will also be a final project at the end of the course necessary to pass.
