Kira's Report

Kira

The picture shows one of the new worm farm bins and inside it. The bins cost $356.50 each and $1426 in total.

Food scraps such as banana peels and apple cores go into the worm farm bins. Citrus, meat and bread and also spicy food and waxed paper can not go into the worm farm bins.

Each food scrap that is put in the bin is eaten by the worms inside if they like it. They make worm castings after they eat it and the castings is a good plant fertilizer. They can also produce worm tea, a liquid fertilizer.

For worm farm collecting, a team of people from room 11 and sometimes room 12 come out and empty each classes bin into a big bin that when it is full, gets emptied into one of the new bins. As each classes bin comes to us, one person ticks the bins off on a notebook to keep track of where they are.

We do this process to get rid of food scraps and also to encourage the worms to make castings and worm tea.
