Beginning our garden project

Over the next four weeks wea re going to work on revitalising the compost area of the garden behind the library. Today we went out to measure up the area, have an explore and collect some samples from the compost heap to examine. We wanted to find out what was living in that habitat. We discussed the ethics of handling tiny creatures and how we had to take care of them so we could take them back to the heap. We found slaters, worms, millipedes, some tiny insects, and ants.
