Cameron Cougars  kick off Earth Day 2015!

The Cameron Cougars are kicking off this year's Earth Day Event with live Earthworm farms! These worms will be grown and nurtured by our own students. Come on by and see what other exciting Earth Day activities we have lined up for our students and the community!



Want to raise your own earthworm farm? Here's how:

What you need?

A worm farm
Compost Worms
Newspaper and a hessian sack
Food scraps
Compost (if building your own worm farm)


How do I get started?

FIND A LOCATION. Worms are seasonal creatures. In summer, keep your worms in a cool, sheltered environment, away from direct sunlight. In the colder months, move them into a sunny area to keep them productive as temperatures drop. Where possible, place close to your kitchen so it’s convenient to maintain and add scraps.


SET UP YOUR WORM FARM. The easiest way to get started is to buy a commercially made worm farm. These usually have 2-3 layers, all of which do different things. It’s useful to think of them like a house. 

Have fun!!!!!!!
