Vermicomposting in the Classroom


We have guests in our classroom until the end of the year; red wiggler composting worms! Mr. Williams, the master gardener who advises us on our gardens, brought them to us yesterday, and we'll keep them until summer. You can learn more about them at http://lewis.wsu.edu/mg/mrc/Vermiculture.pdf.

Planting the Spring Garden

Before we left for spring break, we planted our gardens with lettuce, radishes, spinach, mustard, and carrots. Hopefully the warm weather will encourage their germination and we'll find real plants when we return to school.
