Making Compost at Melrose

Melrose third graders started off the school year by building a worm compost bin. We learned that compost is important because it reduces food waste; it’s good for the environment; and a wonderful food source for our plant friends. And worms are great and fast at creating compost that we can use in our garden so we decided to get some worms friends that we can care for and in turn they will help our garden!
