Composting is how nature recycles
old plants to make new plants.
When a plant dies it starts to decay.
Fungi and bacteria break down the
plant into smaller pieces. These will
turn into rich soil called humus which is
full of nutrients? People make compost in
a bin at home using vegetable
scraps and grass clippings piled together.
Fungi, bacteria, worms, and other
creatures break down the waste. The
compost pile gets worm and steamy.
Compost piles need to be moist so fungi
and bacteria can grow.Turning over the
compost helps it get enough ari turning
over the compost regularly stops it getting
too hot which will kill the good
bacteria and fungi. Good compost makes
the soil just right for new plants to
grow.
So every year you can plant new
plants in rich soil from your compost to
your garden and kitchen waste material
that you have put in the compost bin.
There are many reasons why we need
compost the first reason is saving
money, new plants,and more fruits and veggies.
We can help nature out by donating our
food scraps and yard waste
to the soil. Bacteria, fungi, worms
decompose the dead leaves. Composting
is good for saving money and getting new
fruits and veggies. You can also
make your own composting bin at home.
