Worm Composting for a School Garden

The school administration worked with the Alameda County Office of Education's Service-Learning Waste Reduction Project (SLWRP) over the last two years to develop a waste reduction program for the school. Worm composting became an easy way to teach students that waste is in the eye of the beholder. The worms intrigued the students in the 2nd grade, as well as the notion that such small and slimy creatures can be so beneficial.
