Today we read Diary of a Worm. The book is just adorable! It talks about how earthworms are more than just fish bait! They are contributors to enriching and improving soil for plants, animals and even humans. Earthworms create tunnels in the soil by burrowing, which aerates to soil to allow air, water and nutrients to reach deep within the soil. We also discussed that the earthworm like humans, release waste from their body. Castings contain many nutrients that the plant can use.
We finished up our discussion by acknowledging how worms play the most important part in the ecosystem. They clean it up and do the natural recycling. We should respect these little amazing creatures and help them when we can(keep them out of harms way), as they are so helpful to all plants, animals and humans... Thank God for worms!
