We had a success criteria that we had to follow. I had to keep looking back at it because I did not want to miss anything out. I think I did leave some stuff out but that is ok. I enjoyed finding out about how composting works. I found it tricky to find the wow fact, keep reading because I think you will like it.
Here is my Report
Composting
Have you ever wondered how compost works?
What is it?
Composting is old food like apple cores, banana peels, dead leaves, kitchen scraps, that overtime insects, bugs and worms make it turn into good, nice nutritious dirt which you can use to plant new plants like fruit and veg instead of buying fruit and veg from supermarkets.
How is it made?
Compost is made from old food scraps, apple cores and more. All the old food scraps have to be layered. When having or making a compost, layering is good to help all the food scraps or what you have put in the compost decompose, and to help give oxygen to help it breath like we do, that's why it’s good to have the holes in the compost bin. As you watch the compost decompose you might see some little critters like insects and worms but don't worry, these bugs are good because they actually help the scraps and waste decompose to make healthy dirt. They are bugs in your bin helping to break down all the compostable material.
The benefits of composting
Composting is helping old scraps into new dirt. Which regrows new food, then it is a cycle because of how it's planted and then taking the scraps and starting all over again. It is also stopping food from going out to landfill
Wow Fact!
Did you know that Composting had been around for over 12,000 years.
Hola Mya,
ReplyDeleteYour report on composting is very informative. I had bever thought about how long composting has been around until I read your report - but it makes sense that it has been around for that long when you stop and think about it.
I went to a composting workshop and they spoke about the green and brown layers and to add cardbpard for a brown layer. Did you know that some brown cardboard has plastic in the middle so you have to make sure you rip it out before you add it to your compost?
Do you have a compost bin at your house?
