Vermicomposting is compost from worm poop and a southern Alberta golf course can’t get enough of it.

The Canmore Golf & Curling Club launched its program about two years ago and it’s starting to pay off.

“They’re super attracted to it. They love eating it,” club spokesperson Reid Solodan told CBC News.

He’s talking about worms and their ability to process grass clippings, wood chips and food scraps.

The end product can fill divots on the course and help flower beds thrive.

Solodan says it’s easier than they thought and it cuts down on trips to the dump.

“I think sustainability, environmentally friendly, not giving our stuff away to other people to deal with,” he said.
