Long Term Plans

What will you do with your worm bin after this project/school year is done? How will you feed the worms? How do you feel about murdering all of these innocent worms via starvation and neglect? These are some frequently asked questions by Mr. Blake and I am proud to say that we now have a definite answer to all of them. When this project is completed our initial plan was to donate our rotating composting worm bin to Mr. Grach to use for his aquaponics garden that he plans to have next year, but we found out that Mr. Grach will not be here all summer and without being fed the worms will eventually starve to death. I have asked my dorm adviser, Mrs. Frohardt, if she would like to use/take care of our rotating worm bin during the summer and she said she would be delighted to! I have been updating Mrs. Frohardt about our project since we started so she already knew what we were doing and only needed a quick explanation about how our model works, how often to rotate it, and what kinds of food to put in it. The rotating worm bin will be kept by the garden show in the previous blog post. Because of its prime location being close to several different dorms Mrs. Frohardt suggested that the other dorm advisers put their green waste in there too. That's a great idea! As of right now our group awaits a response from Mr. Grach seeing if he would like to have our rotating composting worm bin for the next school year. I hope he says yes! This is a picture of my dorm advisers, Mrs. Frohardt is the head dorm adviser of Kapi'olani Nui and she is in the middle.
