Do you want to learn about composting?
Composting is environmentally friendly and can save the world.

What is composting?
Composting is a method that you use to break down green and brown scraps into fertile dirt that you can use to plant nice yummy vegetables and plants. So all of your apple cores and vacuum bag that you find disgusting will help you to make your dream garden.

How is it made?
The way it is made is by decomposers. Decomposers are worms, fungi, insects and all sorts of small creatures. So all of the things that we find gross are insects favourite foods. All the insect help each other to break it down so at the end it is just healthy dirt.

The benefits of composting.
The benefits are saving you from spending money on dirt and soil to plant, when you can just let the insects do it for you. It is also good because it is saving the environment.

Composting is one of the best things you can do, to plant as many greens and keep you nice and healthy, and it is keeping  the decomposers nice and healthy as well.
