Turn Scraps into Soil — with Worms!
Discover the magic of vermiculture with Ben Goldberg. Simple, sustainable, and surprisingly fun.
I’m Ben Goldberg, aka “The Worm Whisperer,” and I’ve been building and tending worm bins for more than 25 years. My easy designs and workshops make composting with worms accessible for homes, schools, and communities. Worms help recycle food waste, enrich soil, and teach us that even the smallest creatures play a big role in sustaining life.
I work in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts, home of some of the best soil in the world, but I travel around the world to offer workshops. You can also learn more about my other line of work: composting toilets.
