Worm composting is using worms to recycle food scraps and other organic material into a valuable soil amendment called vermicompost, or worm compost.
Worms eat food scraps, which become compost as they pass through the worm's body.
Compost exits the worm through its' tail end. This compost can then be used to grow plants. By bringing a worm bin into the classroom, you are simulating the worm's role in nature. Though worms could eat any organic material, certain foods are better for the classroom worm bin. We recommend using only raw fruit and vegetable scraps.
