WormWatcher Tip of the Week: Inspirational tips for Teaching!

Quick reminders:  Bury the food, add moist shredded paper on top to create a playground for materials to encourage mating.  The worms will keep processing the compost and make it finer if you forget to feed them.  By the way, melon rinds or whole fruits (bananas) make great vacation food when covered with soil about an inch below the surface.

Can you feel the creativity in the air???  Spring is a great time to get excited about gardening and worms.   Check out the items below for some much needed inspiration!
