Turn Scraps into Soil — with Worms!
Discover the magic of vermiculture with Ben Goldberg. Simple, sustainable, and surprisingly fun.
I’m Ben Goldberg. I’ve been building and tending worm bins—and teaching about worm composting—for 30 years. My worm bins and workshops make composting with worms accessible for homes, farms, schools, and communities. Worms help recycle food waste, enrich soil, and teach us that even the smallest creatures play an essential and valuable role in sustaining life.
I live and work in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts, home to some of the most fertile soil in the world.
You can also learn more about my other line of work: composting toilets.
