Kids Love Composting

Eco-consicious kids can be a big help in making compost happen at your home. A fun and educational chore to assign young children is carrying the house bucket full of kitchen scraps outside to the compost bin. Better yet, try vermicomposting. Placing red worms in a bin with damp leaves and shredded newspaper will turn food scraps into soil conditioner. Composting is a great way to teach children on how our earth works. Worms and insects work through leaves, grass, and other organic materials, creating air shafts and rich worm castings to replenish the earth's soil.
