Earthworms – Red Wrigglers

Sure, earthworms might seem gross. But believe it or not, these red wriggler earthworms are actually very helpful creatures in a lot of ways. We will be making a mini earthworm farm for these neat, creepy, crawly creatures.

The mini earthworm farm is a great way to recylce nearly all your kitchen food waste (they find onions and citrus peal harsh to digest!) and create good compost and food for the plants in your garden. You will be amazed at how healthy your plants look once you feed them ‘worm tea’ or ‘castings’.
