Today was the big pumpkin reveal! Last November, we started our pumpkin experiment. We filled some empty pumpkins with trash, left some pumpkins empty, and even buried a whole pumpkin. Well.... today's reveal showed that all of the buried pumpkins have disappeared! The plastic trash was left behind in the soil because it didn't compost. You should ask your child about the yogurt container! Composting came to life today!
We also conducted another experiment with a pumpkin in a plastic bag. We left one pumpkin in a plastic bag all winter. We found some small pumpkin pieces with "red wiggler" worms doing some serious vermicomposting today.
Where did our pumpkin go?!
