Vermicomposting at UW-La Crosse

In a cooperative effort with Hillview Urban Agricultural Center (HUAC) in La Crosse, UW-L is using vermicomposting to recycle pre-consumer food waste. With funding from UW-L's Green Fund, created with student paid segregated fees, an 8’ x 32’ industrial-scale continuous flow reactor vermicomposting unit and an initial 100 lbs of Eisenia foetida (red wiggler) worms were purchased and installed at HUAC. Read more about this very cool initiative.
