Our "What's Under Your Feet?" Project

Posted by: Christien on 4th July 2017

As part of the "What's Under Your Feet Week" we dug 2 30cm x 30cm x 5cm cuboids in our school grounds, one in cut grass and maintained areas and one in a not so well maintained area. And so we dug our 2 holes and counted how many worms and other invertebrates were in our square of dirt. We managed to find that the square of less well maintained dirt had a lot more creepy crawlies than our well maintained dirt by quite a large margin. The maintained dirt had 2 earthworms and no other invertebrates, whereas the less maintained dirt had 14 earthworms and invertebrates. As you can see there is a very considerable margin between these two places and we hope this helps with the survey.
