Vermicomposting, or how I have worms in my kitchen..
I know, most people would shudder at the thought of having worms in their kitchen, but mine are infact invited guests!
For the SpiralScouts gardening badge, scouts have to construct a Worm Tower, which is basically a high rise apartment for worms to live in. And those little worms will create compost for us! It’s kinda a neat thing for them to observe, food scraps go in, and compost comes out! Plus, each tower has a nice mint plant growing on the top, to add to the usefulness of the whole contraption!
Now, I am not so sure how long I am going to want to have worms in my kitchen, but for now, they are kinda neat to have around! Plus, it teaches Danielle some great lessons about how things grow, how worms make compost, and how things work together. We are going to study the anatomy of a worm (no dissection!) and try to track what kinds of foods the worms seem to like best!
