Goal

I want my students to learn about Vermicomposting, or worm composting, to turn kitchen scraps and other green waste into a rich, dark soil that smells like earth and feels like magic. 

 

What will be done with my students

My students will set up a vermicomposting container and will go out weekly and put in their left over vegetable scraps to make really good nutrient filled soil. Students will maintain the composter themselves and learn first hand how worms play a big part in the health of the soil. They will make weekly observations of how the soil is changing, and the activity of the worms.
 

 

Benefits to my students

Vermicomposting will allow students to work on not being so wasteful and to care for our planet. Vermicomposting will teach students how to care for our soil and what it takes to have really great soil, and who our the major players are underground making all the magic happen. Twenty students will benefit from this request this year, but it will serve many students over the years. 

 

Budget Narrative

Vermicomposting container, starter kit for composting, composting worms and small composting bags for food collection.
