Create a compost worm bin
Turn your child’s fascination with worms into high-quality compost for your garden with a worm compost bin. Keep the bin underneath your kitchen sink or outside and feed the worms food waste, such as fruit peels and coffee grounds. In no time at all, you’ll have rich compost that will enhance your garden’s health.
You’ll need worms, of course. Seattle Worms can supply you with red wigglers. You can contact the company through its website to get a quote, and make sure you call first.
You can get more information about worm composting from your local nursery or garden center (where you can also buy a worm compost bin if you prefer not to make one yourself), or visit King County’s website.
