SUSTAINABILITY NEWS

What a fabulous productive day we had today! We added 1000 new worms to our four worm bins! These are 15 litre bins and have holes drilled into them so the worms can move into the buckets and out into the soil. Gardening Club students soaked coir bricks in water to make bedding in the bottom and then fed them some delicious food scraps and placed shredded paper on top to insulate them. The worms have made such rich, nutritious soil for us in their worm farms. 

Year 3/4TR worked with Ms Belinda today. We learned that when we put food scraps into landfill, it screates “methane” - one of the gasses that cause global warming. So this is why we want to compost our food waste at Trinity. The students emptied the “castings” (worm poo) from our worm farms and we dug it into our soil. They also planted carrots and silverbeet. We look forward to making vegetable soup to share in Winter!
