This proposal describes a cooperative vermicomposting project which has 3 faces; business, education and community service. Vermicomposting has the ability to significantly reduce landfill problems while producing nature's finest soil treatment simultaneously.

Vermicomposting (as we're using it) describes an innovative use of one of nature's finest designs, a forest floor...however, instead of leaves and branches and dead critters, we divert part of the waste stream, mix it together and...Let the worms do the work (of course there's many more companion organisms involved). The outcome is a miracle of Earth, black gold...by any name, anyone who has ever used worm castings/live compost in their garden joins us singing the praises of our lowly friends.
