Wednesday Post



Idk if its just me but when I try to post somthing the blog post just has this error thing. Idk if you posted anything yet but here is somthing for tonight w/ picture.

Another thing I learned from Mr. Omo is that there are two different types of earthworms.  Blue ones and red ones.  The blue ones are the kind that we see when we dig holes in the ground because they literally live in the earth and do their own thing.  The red ones are the kind that we have in our bin.  These ones composts from down up.  Everything behind them is pretty much things they have already eaten.  These worms are used by farmers to help make the soil richer.  They will start by putting the worms in one section of the place they want to plant things and move the worms slowly down the line because for example if they put the worms on the left of the planters box then at the end of a few weeks they should be on the right side and everything behind them is rich soil.  farmers continue with this process until all of the desired soil has been turned into nutrient rich soil that is great for growing plants. Here is a picture of our red worms:)
