Food gathered from SVSU is brought to the greenhouse in buckets.
The food is then placed into worm bins. Our worms are red wigglers or Lumbricus Rebellus. Under ideal conditions, they can eat up to their body weight in food waste every day! You can read more about these fascinating creatures here.
After mixing in the food the worms get to work and quickly consume the food waste.
