Ro Kicker’s journey to starting a worm composting business went a little like this:
Step 1: Start gardening. Step 2: Launch Feed the People Garden Project, a “by the community, for the community” garden in Bevo Mill. Step 3: Start worm composting, (also known as vermicomposting). Step 4: Use vermicomposting to transform an organization’s 0.3-acre plot from “dead, no life, not a single worm in the entire place” to a thriving farm with increased production and stellar water retention. “It absolutely blew my mind,” Kicker says.
Kicker’s fate was sealed after they attended a worm farming conference in Georgia in 2023. “I was so inspired I came back and started Ro’s Wigglers a week later.” Two years in, Kicker’s business Ro’s Wigglers is going strong. Ro’s Wigglers hosts workshops to teach worm compost methods and sells everything you need to get started at roswigglers.com.
