Worms, Worms, Worms!

 

 

 We had fun with worms today.  We built a worm farm by layering dirt and sand in a clear plastic bottle then dug up worms from the compost heap and added them along with some food (lettuce, apple peel) .  We also painted toilet paper roll worms and peeled some organic apples with worm holes…..no worms there!  The idea with the worm farm is that we cover the bottle with paper so that the worms have darkness which they like .  Then you can peek at their work by removing the cover and seeing where the worms have been by the trail of sand they leave.  I’m anxious to hear back from everyone to see if their worms ate the food and made sand trails up and down the side of the bottle.  Everyone can enjoy watching their worms then dump them out into their garden so they can help make the flowers and plants grow stronger.
