Vermicomposting Exhibit Build

Home SustainableUMD News Vermicomposting Exhibit Build

McKeldin Library will be welcoming some new workers to the University Libraries this spring - WORMS! A few environmentally-minded librarians and students from the Institute for Applied Agriculture (and some campus community gardening enthusiasts) will be building a worm composting (vermicomposting) display in the lobby of McKeldin Library on Thursday, April 20. Once installed, the worms in the composting structure will create nutrient rich castings (a component of soil) from food scraps and paper towels collected in McKeldin. Stop by the display to peek at the worms at work, and learn more about the composting process and what types of materials can be composted at the University of Maryland.
