Home Sweet Home in Oracle
Welcome to VERMILLION WORMERY!
Our mission is to return organic ‘waste’ to the soil food web using worms, a process known as VERMICOMPOSTING. We envision vermicomposting as an important step to reaching Zero Organic Waste. We’ve found that a good place to start is right in our own homes, community, and region.
We partner with restaurants and friends, taking kitchen scraps and feeding them to our earthworms and producing a beautiful, full-of-life soil amendment called vermicast. Why not contact us about scheduling a fun, hands-on wormshop, where you’ll learn all about earthworms, garbage, and vermicomposting?
Red wigglers - the great composters
We are happy to work with schools and other institutions to start larger-scale organic waste recycling programs. In addition, we offer support services for all of our vermicomposting systems, such as harvesting and system tune-ups.
Harvesting castings from worm bins
We had a great time at the Native Seeds/Search spring plant sale in Tucson on Saturday, April 24th. We gave a free demonstration about setting up a household or office worm bin for food scrap recycling. See our Wormshops and Presentations page for details.
