WORM FARM Woo Hoo!

A worm farm is a fantastic way to minimise food waste by turning your organic kitchen waste into nutrient-rich fertiliser for your plants and soils. Worms eat organic waste (their own weight in food everyday) and turn it into liquid fertiliser and worm castings (the organic material that has been digested by the worms). Both of these products can be used on your garden and on your pot plants to keep them thriving. We also use worm liquid to replace fertiliser.

We have two fully functional bathtubs worm farms housing 5000 red composting worms in total, with another two 'tubs' under construction.  Our worm food - scraps - are gathered from the College canteen, and donated by parents and staff.
