Product Information

Waiting for the paint to dry on this cute paper plate craft is a great opportunity to talk about the composting role of earthworms in our ecosystem. This craft can also be used to discuss the difference between worms and caterpillars and their respective life cycles. Our composting worms are a mixture of species (mainly reds and dendras) selected for their composting ability. Sometimes composting worms are known as tiger worms, brandlings, reds and dendras. All work really well in your wormery and we use a mix as some worms prefer slightly more acidic conditions so a mix is beneficial. Each species of worm is a surface litter worm meaning unlike the usual worms you find in your garden (lob worms - Lumbricus Terrestris) surface litter worms like reds and dendras like to work in the top few inches of the soil which is perfect in your wormery. They're found naturally in a manure heap or on the forest floor. Creating a worm farm habitat is a wonderful way to teach kids about sustainability, environmental responsibility, and food production. This activity can easily be extended by having kids draw and label the different parts of a worm’s home as well as discussing the different types of soil one can use.
