Making a worm farm

This afternoon for science we made a worm farm. A worm farm is a plastic container that has three tiers and contains tiger worms. Tiger worms are special worms that are composting - they eat vegetable and fruit scraps. This worm bin will be placed in the school garden along side our other two worm bins. Mrs Turner emptied the bucket of Tiger Worms onto a large mat for us to examine.  We learnt what tiger worms look like, how they move and that they don't have eyes, teeth or a nose. We made the worm house by adding paper ripped up into tiny pieces, grass, cardboard and dirt. We then added food scraps left over from our lunch boxes. If your interested in having a worm farm at home please come in and speak to Mrs Turner we would be happy to give you a container of worms to get you started. Tiger worms can eat up to 3kgs of good scraps a week !!
