They came to help us with our worm farm and making an Edible Garden.
We split into two groups, one worked on the worm farm, the other on the edible garden.
Making the worm farm was quite simple.
First we torn some old newspaper into strips.Then we added some water to make the newspaper moist.
Next came some compost. This helps feed the hungry worms. We also smoothed the compost out and made a hole in the paper/compost mix like you do when making scones.
This is a nest for the worms
Then we put in the worms. They felt tickly and yuck on our hands. The worms didn't like the light and tried to hide.
We put them in their nest and covered them over.We put the lid on the worm farm and put it in the hallway where it is cool.
We are feeding the worms with our food scraps. They love the apple cores and banana skins, and even a little bit of egg shell, bread and paper.
They don't like citrus fruit like oranges.
We are going to use the fertiliser they make for our vegetable garden.
