Willow Teaches Us All About Worms


Another great community collaboration, Willow McJilton, joined us on a Friday afternoon in September to show us how to build our vermicomposting bins.  Students from Ms. Cohen and Mr. Fordyce's classes learned how to create a worm condo and what conditions worms like to live in.  We will be feeding our lunch scraps to the worms to create nutrient rich soil and worm tea for our vegetable garden.  Willow was an amazing teacher and we all learned so much.  She also made us containers to hold our scraps and and a pitcher to keep our worm tea with great labels that she created.  We have named all our our worms "The Chakas" and we hope to keep them happy and composting our food for our garden.
