Educational Gardens and Recycling
At Laytonville Unified School, California students in grades K-8 have organized and managed a recycling, composting, and gardening program since 1987. The gardens are fertilized by compost made from cafeteria wastes. Vegetables, fruits and bread make compost for the garden; protein waste goes into a "pig bucket" for a local farmer's hogs; milk cartons are recycled; and paper bags are shredded for mulch or worm food in the garden's worm culture beds. Within 10 months, 14,181 lbs. of materials was recycled. Food grown in the garden is sold to the school lunch program, donated to the community, and sold at the Middle School Market.

I almost got into worm farming when I had my compost bin. Read about having layers of worms where they eat your paper etc. and then advance up the trays to get at more paper etc.
Homeowner's Assn. stopped me on my bin so I dropped it, but you can grow a ton of worms with that tray rig.
The flowers and such thrive with their casings.
Call it vitamin W.
