Worms are crucial for soil health! Eating organic material from plants and animals makes the nutrients available to be used again. As they feed, move, and mix their waste with the soil, their tunnels bring in oxygen, drain water, and create more room for plant roots.

With worms being an important building block for soil, we seek to offer an fun, interactive experience to educate people of all ages about the value of vermicomposting (composting with worms). Here at REAP, we use worms for our permaculture gardens to increase nutrient availability and make a lasting impact on our community's sustainability efforts.
