Learn About Worms

Go on a worm hunt!  Dig in soil or compost to find worms, observe them closely and feel them in your hands.  How do they move? Do you think they have eyes? Can you find different species? What else can you notice about them? Think about where you found the worms. What is their habitat and what do you think they need to survive? What do you think they eat? Be gentle with the precious worms and make sure you return them to the soil (unless you decide to make a wormery to put them in). Do some citizen science and take part in the Great Kiwi Earthworm Survey!

Worms really are amazing creatures. You can watch the video below to learn lots more about wonderful worms, and how important they are for healthy soil in our gardens.

Maybe, you could start up your own worm farm and use wonderful worms to turn your food waste into awesome fertiliser for your garden. Click HERE to learn how to do this.

Or, for a simple fun activity why don’t you make a wormery and observe worms up close?

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
