I have been worm composting for over 10 years. I invested in a Can o
Worms and it has been an easy "hobby". I feed them coffee grounds and
veggie scraps (pre-cooked. The recycling benefits outwheigh the plant
nutrition benefits.

It is a good lesson for your child on diverting food waste from
landfills/garbage disposal. The science of worms is also fascinating.

Good Luck.
