Composting
Have you ever heard of composting? I am going to tell you what composting is and how to use it.
What is it?
Composting is a great way to recycle by using leftover scrapes, vegetable, peels, fruit waste,plant clippings, grass cuttings and leaves that turns into compost soil.
How is it made?
You will need a plastic bin or a wooden box. First you get a layer of brown waste like leaves,straw then another layer of green waste like fruit and vege scraps. Keep layering brown and green until you reach the top. Next add water for moisture. Add worms and then leave it to do its job.
The benefits of composting?
Composting is great for recycling our environment. We end up getting healthy plants and gardens for vegetables and flowers. It is great food for worms and insects and makes rich soil.
Conclusion
I think composting is good for keeping the environment free of more rubbish. I have a compost bin at my house and I have seen how good it is to recycle our grass clippings and food scraps. If we all got into it we will have one way to look after the earth.

ReplyDeleteYou have included some key points about composting. Well done. I like that you mentioned it is helping us to look after our earth. We are a Green/gold Enviro school and we all think that is pretty important. Did you go out and check on your compost to see if it needs anything?
