Worm Composting
Each year the fourth graders serve our school community by running our worm composting program. Students bring food waste from the cafeteria to the garden, and feed it to our red wriggler worms. They learn how to care for the worms: what they like to eat, what conditions they like to live in, and what to do with the “black gold” worm castings that the worms make. They become worm experts and help educate other students about this full circle process.
