Worm Composting — You Can Do It! With Madonna Zaleha

These educational and often hands-on weekly gardening programs are held every Thursday throughout the summer and feature guest speakers and a variety of gardening topics.  The programs are held from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. at the Train Station unless otherwise noted. Programs are free of charge and registration is not required.

Reduce your trash volume and gain valuable nutrient-rich soil. Worm composting is using worms to recycle food scraps and organic material to create a soil amendment called vermicompost. Vermicomposting cuts down on methane production from landfills, thus saving our environment. The process is compact, easy and is free of fertilizer!

Madonna is a retired Respiratory Therapist and graduated from BGSU with a BS in Biology.   She grew up on a farm and has been interested in gardening, insects and animals since childhood! Since becoming a Master Gardener in 2019, she has learned so much about pollinators and habitat needs, perennial plants, prairies and composting! Madonna is also a member of the Bellevue VFW Auxiliary 1238, where she serve as an officer and helps with Veterans’ causes.
