School Greenhouse Uses Worm Composting

Worm Farming

This farm is seriously rad, in a way that the younger kids at the school might not even grasp. The greenhouse is chockablock with innovative solutions: rainwater catchment, wind energy, aquaponics, worm composting, solar panels, and a weather station that lets students monitor conditions in the greenhouse. By the time they graduate in 8th grade, P.S. 333 students will probably have encountered more sustainable living and urban agriculture ideas than most adults in New York.
