The Compost Bin is Here!
Christian and Aidan prepare the bedding for the worms.
- Looking for worm food!
- David braves the elements while searching for wet leaves for our worms to munch on.
- Looking for leaves!
- Zek and Tajanaye place the worms in the bin.
This morning, we set out to create our indoor worm compost bin. To begin, several friends helped prepare the bin by ripping newspaper into small pieces for bedding for the worms. After putting the newspaper scraps into the bin, we went outside into the courtyard and collected wet leaves (just the way worms like them!) We took the compost bin with newspaper outside with us to saturate it with water from the rain. Last, we gently dumped our collected worms from last week as well as some more worms that were store bought into the bin. Very quickly, the worms dug down into the bin and started getting cozy! We are coming up with many questions as we learn how to compost…
1. How long will it take for the worms to eat through the matter in the bin?
2. What else is safe for the worms to eat?
3. Will the bin be stinky?
4. How can we keep the worms happy inside?
