Event: Learn to Compost featuring the Thomson Worm Farm @ GreenLife
July 24, 2010 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

 

Vermicomposting in Chattanooga Tennessee!
Stop by Greenlife from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on July, 24th to learn how to composting using worms featuring Thompson Worm Farm.
Learn how you can reduce the amount of Organic Waste sent to our overcrowded landfills and make an excellent natural soil enhancer in the process. The answer is Vermicomposting. Vermicomposting is the process of recycling organic waste, like fruit and vegetable scraps, using composting worms. Worms digest the waste and make a product called Vermicompost, or worm castings. Vermicompost is alive with beneficial microbes and readily available nutrients for your plants. Don't haul your organic garbage away to the landfill - compost it on the spot and turn it into a useful product. It's easy to start - you can do it 

Event: Fall PLANT SALE @ Crabtree Farms
 

Come see the NEW Worm Factory 360 and learn about Vermicomposting at the 7th Annual Fall Plant Sale at Crabtree Farms in Chattanooga.  Stop by the Thompson Worm Farm Booth.

Choose from a wide variety of fall vegetable starts including lettuces, spinach, and snap peas, as well as perennial herbs and flower plants. Fall is the best time to plant perennials in your garden or floral beds! The winter months will allow them to nestle in and prepare to burst forth in 2011. Crabtree's organically hand-seeded and cultivated plants are one of a kind!
