Decoding Compost
Posted by Aurora Meyer, APR on 7/16/2021
Fun City students at Blue Ridge Elementary spent the morning digging through compost and discovering the organic material and the variety of bugs and worms.
The Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture provided the compost and the lesson.
Students used spoons, a magnifying glass and sticks to sort through and identify the types of worms and bugs. The students also worked to determine what the organic material was before it went through the composting process.
Once they finished the lesson, the students added the compost, bugs and worms to the garden or the school's compost bin.
