A free workshop on vermicomposting will be held at Scarborough Public Library at 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8.
Mark Follansbee, a Scarborough toxicologist and environmental scientist, will lead the class about using worms to convert organic waste into fertilizer. He is the founder of WormMainea and has been vermicomposting for over 20 years, according to his website, wormmainea.com. Follansbee will teach attendees how to build an inexpensive worm bin, discuss feeding and how to harvest, and will share a recipe for vermicompost “tea.”
The event is free; to register, visit scarboroughlibrary.org and go to the Events page.
Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
