The worms are in!! Groton 7th grade science is now vermicomposting. If anyone is interested in bringing in some leftover food scraps from dinner, feel free! I'm looking for little pieces of carrots, string beans, egg shells, apple peels, and stuff like that. The smaller the better. We have over a pound of red wigglers and they'll eat between .5 and 1.0 lbs a day! Special thanks to NYSAR3 and the Happy D Ranch for donating and supplying our setup.

Haha....yes, I now have over a 1000 new friends in rm 302. That's about a pound of red wigglers. Dug is a good name. The worms are much more active than they were last week. They're in the process of eating a bunch of bread and lettuce someone composted at lunch today.
