Introduction ~ Jack
has noticed that lots of people are throwing away all of their food
scraps at the end of
lunch. Jack thinks this is wasteful and wants to find out how he can
use these
leftovers in a beneficial way. He has heard about vermicomposting,
using
worms to compost, but he doesn't know how it works or how he can
use vermicomposting to solve the food waste problem. Jack
has come to you for help. Can you help him learn more about composting
using worms?
