Date: 11/04/2024

Jumping worms are invasive earthworms that rapidly consume organic matter, degrade soil quality, facilitate the proliferation of invasive plants, and destabilize local ecosystems. They can be easily introduced to your farm or garden via compost, mulch, or seedlings. If you’re a farmer, gardener, or composter, register to learn how to slow the spread of jumping worms and protect your soil, plants, and compost. This webinar will cover the latest research about jumping worms, best practices for preventing contamination, and specific strategies for on-farm and other composters. 

This webinar took place on September 27, 2023, hosting by the Composting for Community Initiative of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance.
