OGS home vermi-composter on display at Earth Day events in San Antonio


Last week we had the opportunity to partner with the Bexar County's Texas AgriLife Extension Service to educate people on the many benefits of vermi-composting at a series of Earth Day Events. Our home worm composting kit made another appearance at the Master Gardeners display tables to show people how easy it is to start your very own worm farm at home and turn your kitchen scraps into worm castings. For anyone not familiar with the Master Gardeners program, they are part of the Horticulture department at Agrilife and it is a phenomenal educational opportunity for anyone from beginners just looking to start their first garden, to the seasoned veteran who wants to take their horticultural skills to the next level. Anyone who is interested should check out their website here.

The 3 day series of events were held at the UTSA main campus, StandardAero, and the UT Health Science Center. Thanks again to David Rodriguez at Agrilife for making the connection, and of course to Margie Noonan for doing pretty much all the leg work!
