Start A Worm Farm
Steps to Start a Worm Farm
Last week we were lucky enough to be the recipients of the worm farm from Punky’s Kinder. These are the steps we completed to set it up. They are based on a
Fact Sheet from Clean Up Australia .
Punky and Cuddles rip up newspaper for the bedding.
Wet the newspaper – moist like a wrung out sponge
Add other bedding materials – leaves and straw. Punky thought the worms would like to make a home in the tap head he found
Add the worms
Add a small amount of food scraps
Cover and protect from hot sun and heavy rain
Inspiring families to grow at least one fresh food item at home to experience the benefits of fresh food.
Oh I’ve been wanting to make a worm farm for AGES! Love these pics!
Oh fun! I’ve been thinking about a worm farm since we saw them at the Easter Show. Enjoy 🙂
So much fun. Great to get the kids involved.
What a great idea, I really should create one for our scraps. Rachel x
We used to have one before we moved into a smaller place. Really do miss having somewhere to use for compost. Looks like fun, too!
Oh what fun. I hope your worm love it too
Oh no…worm farms….. I know this is going to sound hard to believe….but my husband and I have managed to kill TWO worm farms. We didn’t intend to. Apparently they are the easiest things to keep alive too! We are now banned from both worm farms and growing vegetables (seems we were no good at that either). We have to buy weekly from our local growers now (not that, that is a bad thing!) as we are not destined to grown veges….or worms! Good luck kids, Im sure you will do a FAR better job than I!
