Comment by Jeanette Hubiak on July 30, 2009 at 8:13am: If there is anyone who would like to have instructions on how to create the soda bottle worm farms I have burned a CD of the power point my students created. It is a huge file and my school computer will not let me down load it. So I would be willing to mail you a copy of it. I just need addresses. Jeanette

Comment by Cathy Luna on July 27, 2009 at 6:24pm: Hello all! I own a childcare center and preschool and I am an avid recycler. In May I started with my 1st worm bin and have been enjoying this hobby and sharing information with anyone who will listen. This summer we have over 15 school age children and next week they are doing a unit on recycling. I plan to share my wormies and some knowledge. Since I am an educator at heart (with the degree 2 ) I hope to start sharing with the community and with local school classrooms. Thank you everyone for sharing what you know about your wormies! Cathy
