April 12 – Wow! We are having a great time preparing for our vermiculture experience. Unfortunately, our worm shipment was delayed. Fortunately, our worms arrive Monday,
and the fun is ready to start!

| We prepared bins for our worms. |
This week, we spent time preparing our vermiculture boxes, collecting needed materials, and have started to collect scraps that can safely be used in our composting experience. I you would like to contribute to our learning, we would love your help! Our research on composting with worms tells us that the following items would be helpful:
fruits and vegetable peels and scraps
breads and cereals
tea bags
coffee grounds and filters
crushed egg shells
watermelon & pumpkin rind
Some things that our research tells us that will not be useful in our experimentation include:
- meats
- dairy products
- citrus fruit & peels
- oils or fat
Contributions can be made by simple drop offs to the school! To coordinate, please email Renee Golz at
renee.golz@cms.k12.nc.us.
Stay tuned! Next week is going to be especially exciting!
