What You'll Learn: 
-The basics of how vermicomposting works and why it's more efficient than traditional composting (and great for urban living)

-What worms can (and can't) eat, and how to keep them happy and thriving
How to troubleshoot common issues like odor, pests, and moisture balance

-How to harvest and use finished worm castings ("black gold") in your garden

What You'll Do:
-By the end of the workshop, you'll build and take home your own fully functional worm bin, complete with bedding, and a starter colony of red wigglers.

-Materials provided: Bin, bedding, worms, and starter guide

Takeaway: One complete worm bin, ready to start composting that day

This IN-PERSON WORKSHOP will be hosted at Alemany Farm
--
Fall in SF is an abundant time – we are still harvesting our summer foods—but it is also time to plant your cold season garden – bok choi, kale, chard, broccoli, kohlrabi – as well. In this workshop we will discuss how to gracefully pivot from summer to fall, including discussion of crop varieties that thrive in our climate, and ideal planting times. We will also discuss planting techniques, nutrient needs, basic irrigation requirements, and more. Bring your veggie and fruit gardening questions–there will be time for a Q&A!

Suggested Donation: $35 - no one turned away for lack of funds. Our workshops are donation-based and support the growing and distribution of free produce at Alemany Farm. We encourage everyone to make an offering commensurate with your means, and in an amount that feels powerful to you - such gifts make workshops like these possible. We also do not want money to be a barrier to entry. Please reach out if you would like to attend but are unable to donate. If you can afford to make a bigger donation, your contribution will support the work of Alemany Farm and the opportunity for others with more limited funds to attend this class.
