Worms are small invertebrates that live in soil and compost. They eat food scraps, leaves, and other organic matter, breaking them down into rich, dark soil called worm castings or vermicompost. These castings are full of nutrients that help plants grow strong and healthy. Worms also make tiny tunnels in the soil, which help air and water move through it , by keeping the soil alive and healthy.

When children compost, they see the full cycle of food:

  • Food → Scraps → Compost → Soil → New plants → Food again.
