Get all the dirt on compost
normanack
It might look like dirt, but these hands are holding compost created from common household wastes. Mixed in to the ground, compost adds nutrients to our soils.
Compost
How much do you think about the garbage you toss away? A little more thought along with careful sorting of our wastes can greatly reduce the amount of trash we bury in the ground. And much of that sorted waste can be turned into nutrient-rich compost that can augment the soils of our yards and gardens to give back a little bit.
Click through these pages to learn how composting works and how it can be used to make us all better stewards of our environment.
Check the case next to the wall to see composting action. Each tray shows a different stage of the composting process. Don't worry about any smell. Special filters keep any stink from getting out!!!

we have a community garden with a giant compost pile and where wondering why it smells so bad???
The garden probally smells bad because compost is sometimes old food. So that is why it smells bad.
We only get one Earth and we should take care of it and make it as bautiful as possible
It's good to keep trash away from the our enviroment. So it's always good to throw away your trash instead of litering. So to help keep our enviroment healthy always throw away your trash, instead of putting onto the ground
Thats a lot of dirt, from all that garbage! It's really good to seperate our earth from the garbage. It even keeps our planet alive and healthy!
I hope that compost will be used more in our society so that our world can be more "Earth-friendly".
a lot of bactiria =dirt(fertal)
wow sticks can turn into dirt
We compost because it keeps us from having too much trash and once the compost sits for long enough it becomes fertizler for our garden! We love eating our fresh vegetables that are nourished from our own compost!
grrshtrgh
i disagree
I don't compost that often because I don't really think about it that much, but I think I should compost more often, and other people should compost too, at least sometimes. (-:
since compost make soil more plants can grow and we can breathe better animals dont have to suffer
GOODBYE GARBAGE!!!!!!!

compost is good because it makes it easy to make good fertilised out of food/waste gabage (^-^).
humans are the only species that make non biodegradeable waste.
i think that worms are made to eat things that humans like to killllllll.
Cam: hi
Carson:i don't like it that much, but it's okay.
Kaeden: Composting is a great way to recycle and have fun while doing it. When i was small we had a compost bin and we got to put worms in!
In SF we needed to have garbag bin,recycling bid,and a compost bin for distributing trash. <==<------------------------ Zoom Hi
Compost is very cool because it degrates stuff.
I even use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people the dirt just shows that there is very little of it and we should start conserve the the dirt
hello people. Ok, when you make compost hole put worms in it because, the worms will breake down some of the organics, and when they die they will become part of the compost too. When all the compost stuff is done, you can then put the new soil/dirt on your seeds and they should grow very VERY well.
how do worms eat when they no mouths?
THAT is a good qustion that i can not answer but i do know starfish eat with there belly"s.
they do have mmouthes you cant see it
and serch the web.
Either they eat through there skin or they have mouths but they just dont have eyes
My family and I do that sort of thing too. Hey you kids! Do this sort of thing!!! Mainly because it is helpful to the community.
It is hard, but rewarding to garden. Gardening can be made easyer by compost! So, use your old scraps and old fruit to feed your plant! Then you can have heathier, richer, well nurishing fruit and vegies
your right exept its not awlways rewarding.it can make life harder and atract pests. >:)
Gardening is fun, but is sometimes difficult. Make sure you have someone to help you with it. Other than that, have a good time!
i think that composting is 1 of the best ways to help the enviorment it is awsome and i think that everybody should do it and we should never leave food unless you are so full that you can not take another biteso this is what we should do... composting!
At my school there is a composting bin.I think composting is awsome!
dirt is fascinating, plant a garden, watch it grow, such an experience!
^ ^

compost+dirt+seeds=grow=food or flowers (in 6 months)=HAPPY PLANTS
I THINK THAT WE HAVE WORMS TO THANK THERE JUST EATING
Sooo... food = good siol that's great for growing crops? Yeah. Totaly. Make a LOT of sense. :D
i sometimes think about where to put the trash.
Is composting better than recycling? If so how or what about it makes it better? If not how or what makes it worse?
Thank you for answering!
Animals do the same thing when they die
when animals eat certain stuff, that composts when they digest it back out, and seeds also are helped grown
Does compost take long to wait?
It takes at least a month
