Fran's Wiggling Worms

Follow along for an abundance of worm photos, expert tips and advice, and to join a community of worm parents striving to positively support their little wigglers In 2019, Fran was attending a post-secondary institution in British Columbia, Canada where no composting program existed and all food waste went into the garbage. Unfortunately, the school's volunteer-led composting p

rogram ended and city composting was also not available due to the location of the school. As a result, Fran and her friend, Laura, researched vermicomposting and decided to make small DIY worm bins to begin composting their food scraps. Upon introducing their work to other students, there was a high demand from students living in residence. Fran and Laura decided to approach student housing with a plan to implement a vermicomposting program into the residence buildings. Fran and Laura also no longer attend this school. However, this was not the end of vermicomposting for Fran! She has been caring for them ever since and decided to start Fran's Wiggling Worms because of the difficulty she had finding worms in BC. Not only would she be a worm supplier, but she could share her knowledge and experience with others. These resources ensured that everyone's little wigglers would be happy and others could have successful vermicomposting set-ups like her!
