We're Vermicomposting in Ganon Aleph and Ganon Bet!











After we returned from the teacher workshop on nature and planting a couple of weeks ago, the children began collecting leftover fruit and vegetable scraps and peelings (instead of throwing them in the garbage.) This week we put these leftovers in a large container with newspapers which the children shredded. They then dropped in special worms which speed up the composting process. Hopefully, this will result in some very rich soil for us to use for planting when the process is complete. We'll keep you posted!
