We found a sheltered place to put the worm farm. We had two old tyres, corrugated iron and some blocks of wood.
We started off making the worm farm by putting the iron on the wood and then putting the tyre on the iron.
Some people dug up some compost for the bedding in the worm farm.
We put soil and paper in the tyre for the bedding. You have to put heaps of moist in so the worms can crawl through their beds. We needed wet shredded paper.
The bedding is now ready for the worms to snuggle up in.
We put a container beside the worm farm for the worm wee to go in. Worm wee is great for plants.
Now it is time for the worms.
There looked like there were hundreds of worms. They felt slimy and slithery.
Some people picked up the worms. They gently put them on the bedding.
A kereru came to visit us while we were making our farm. Miss Little thought it was good luck – Connor thought it wanted to eat some worms!
Finally we have finished our worm farm. We feel really excited about looking after it. Now all we need are some food scraps.

Hey, building a worm farm looks like great fun! What will happen to the worms in the worm farm? I have always wondered. Do you put them into the garden after a while? Or do you put their bedding into the garden?
Hi Room 3
Can you please tell me what happens if you run out of room in the farm?
