Hi, I'm Mike
The Ann Arbor Worm Farm was started in the living room of a 600 sq. foot garden level apartment in 2019. It began as just a hobby, but turned into a full-fledged passion and we have been striving to help at home composters ever since.
In 2023 I became a certified Michigan Master Composter
2024 Completed Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web Foundation Courses
2025 - Became a Certified Soil Food Web Lab Technician
Currently in the process of becoming a certified Soil Food Web Consultant
My Story
Why to start a worm bin? Divert food waste from landfills and keep methane out of the atmosphere and besides, worms are really fun.
Super simplified way to get started.
-
Get a container, with ventilation so the worms can breath
-
Add a few inces of a carbon, wet it to the consistency of a wrung out sponge
-
Put the worms in, let them settle in their new home
-
Add your food waste
-
Sit back, let them do their work and enjoy
There is a lot of great information on the internet and I'd like to be resource for you. A book that I found incredibly helpful was “Worms Eat My Garbage” by Mary Applehoff and please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.
