The wonder of worm poo
Last week, my friend Kate found a worm at
school. We showed it to our teacher, Miss
Downey. She let everyone have a look. Our
class was really interested, so Miss Downey
said we could start a worm farm.
First, we found out about worms and worm
farms. A worm farm can be just a box
where special worms live. These worms
are called composting worms. They eat
food scraps and turn them into ‘plant food’
which you can put in the ground to help
plants grow.
Next, we bought some big plastic boxes
with lids. Miss Downey cut some holes in
them. Then we put some newspaper and soil into the boxes. We
collected our food scraps and put them into the boxes. Then we got
some worms from a shop. We put them in the boxes, too.
Now we have lots of worms. They eat all our food scraps. We have
started a class vegetable garden, too. We put the worm ‘poo’ into the
garden. It is great for helping plants to grow.
All this from one little worm!
