Composting With Redworms - a microscopic study of decomposition.  Check out the 89 websites that explain the science and hobby of using redworms to "eat my garbage!"

Vermes is Latin for worms and Vermicompsting is essentially composting with worms.

In nature all organic matter eventually decomposes. In Vermicompsting you speed up the process of decomposition and get a richer end product called "worm castings." Vermicompsting has the added advantage of allowing you to create compost all year; indoors during the winter and outdoors during the summer.

We will use dissecting microscopes and handlenses to look at the organisms in the soil.
