Create a worm composting book
 
You and your classmates have a big job to do! The new incoming class have absolutely no idea about  vermi- composting...yet! It will be your job to help them understand how and why we compost.

Working with your garden team and the resources on the Granny's Garden School website you will answer specific questions to create your own section to our homemade classroom book about vermi-composting.  This book will be presented as an introduction to vermi composting for the incoming students.
