Worm Farm. By Thomas and Harrison

A worm farm is where you can put your organic waste where worms turn it into nitrogen. We find their excretion very useful to help our plants grow. At St Clair School we have a worm farm to help reduce our waste.

This is the steps that we take to care for our worm farm.

What to Feed Your Worms:

Banana peels
Paper
Apple cores
Leaves and Vegetable Scraps.

What Not to Feed Worms:
Coloured paper
Junk food/acidic and spicy foods
Orange skins

Step 1:
Collect food scraps from children's lunches and then empty the food scraps into the worm farm.

Step 2:
Leave a bucket under the hole in the worm farm where the juice passes through the soil and trickles into the bucket.

Step 3:
When there is enough juice we pour it into a recycled milk container, give it a good shake and give it away to people in our community.

That's our steps of how to use the worm farm, now you can have your own one so remember to do it every day and feed your worms the right stuff!
