Kellan asks "What is worm composting?"
The worms eat your food scraps ( veggie peels, egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds) digest, and poop out rich , dark conditioning rich soil . Oh, and its best not to compost with meats, dairy , or grains. It attracts rodents, flies, stinks and other unwanted house guests.
I see a worm! I see thousands of worms!!
" I see a banana peel, leaves, green stuff and....
..worms squiggling in my hand!"
Did you know it takes about 2000 worms to eat one pound of food a day!?
That sounds like alot ! And it is. Thankfully they like to be snuggled up together in their nice dark, damp bed.

Lots of holes so the worms can have nice fresh air, and proper drainage.

I call her 'Loretta Lily'
Lilly loved worms. But I think she loved horses a little more.
She is so rad. I hope to see her, and the rest of the tikes in future classes!

Worm composting is great. I started two of them and the first time was a failure. I felt bad for the batch of worms that did not make it. The second attempt was a whopping success and lasted for a year and I was able to recycle almost every single kitchen scrap on the approved list. The soil they produced was beautiful and loamy and I used them for some house plants and for a friends garden.
