CHILDREN at St Michael's primary school, Kingsteignton, are going to be able to get up close and personal with the recycling process, thanks to the school's new wormery. Thousands and thousands of dendras worms will be chomping their way through the school's food and garden waste and the compost they leave behind will be able to go back on to the garden. The wormery also has a tap on the front, supplying liquid fertiliser, known as worm 'tea' – so nothing goes to waste. John Skuse, of Westcountry Worms, supplied the wormery and some compost bins during the school's environment week. 'The kids had a fantastic time. They were thrilled to see the worms involved in composting and to be able to touch them,' he said. The system should be self-sustaining, with the population of worms kept in balance with the amount of food they are given.
