Check out our pictures of re creating our worm farm.

The worm farm at our school was not working properly and our poor worms were dying. Kauri came in on Friday and we re built the worm farm. We had to pull out the worms that were alive and place a new mesh mat underneath them. We removed all the broken tiles that lay under them and killed the giant slugs that had made it their home. Kauri showed us how to feed the worms and keep them alive. We want to collect the worm wee and re use it in our garden to help our plants grow.

We will keep you updated
