Wormy Planty is a school planting recycling device that utilizes waste paper and food waste to raise earthworms. It allows elementary school children to shred waste paper and mix it with lunch food waste, then put it into the earthworm feeding tank inside the device to produce composted soil, which can then be shoveled into the planting area for use, and the planted vegetables can be used to add fresh vegetables to their lunch. The removable planting layer allows children to take it outdoors to their school gardens, and the Wormy Planty not only allows children to experience the process of raising, composting, and planting, but also reduces the problem of food waste and increases the value of waste paper.
