Worm composting

AT the UU fellowship this morning, the kids learned about worm composting and each came home with a worm compost container bin.  They got to decorate the containers.  From what I saw, Owen’s favorite part was using the drill to make air holes for his Tropical Red Wiggler worms.

I guess the idea is to feed the worms stuff the we would normally throw away, the worms eat it, then we eventually throw their “castings”; i.e. poop, into the garden.  In case you were wondering, here are all the things we can feed the worms: vegetable scraps, shredded newspaper or office paper, coffee grounds, eggshells, dryer lint, plain pasta or rice, and plain bread.
