May Meeting
We are excited to have
Ryan Vieira from Our Little Worm Farm
as our guest speaker this month
This presentation will provide attendees with information on how compost and vermicompost positively impact the soil's ecosystem and, by extension, plant health and growth. Attendees will learn how they can make their own vermicompost systems at home and how they can convert their compost to a liquid extract and/or compost tea to maximize its benefits and coverage in your garden.
Ryan Vieira is a local worm farmer who upcycles food waste from local restaurants to create soil amendments for use by local gardeners. I sell vermicompost and vermicompost extracts at farmers’ markets and plant sales, and I also sell composting worms and vermicomposting systems to enable people to produce their own soil amendments from their own waste streams. I have been engaged in these activities for approximately five (5) years. Over the next year, I hope to scale up my operations modestly by offering compost tea and liquid vermicompost extract application services to local gardeners.
Ryan has spoken about the benefits of vermicomposting at the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society Plant Sale, the Peterborough Horticultural Society, the Oakville Horticultural Society and the Thorold Horticulture Society.
