22/3/12 Worm Farm Group Goal: To work out how to improve the worm farm. Problem: No worms, Blue wormfarms are not working well. They get good up and the worm wine doesn't come out. No worm wine means no fertiliser for the garden and no worm wine to sell. Black bin the tap doesn't work well. The bin collects the worm wine well.

Solution: Femke's mum could bring more worms. People could bring worm wine from home. Ask other experts. Get the black bin's tap fixed.

Question Is the black bin enough? No.

Solution - get another bin.
