This project includes two compost bins, worms, an aerator, and soil temperature probes. Each item will facilitate a long term study of how soil decomposes. Over the time of the project, students can monitor the progress of the compost by recording the temperature and aerating the soil. Providing two compost bins will allow for the students to compare the natural decomposition of soil with and without the presence of worms. This project assists in teaching soil decomposition and nutrient cycles through an annual project. The hope is that the soil can serve as fertilizer for greenhouse crops.
