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.

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!!!

compost is good for the earth!
The Earth needs help.Help the earth!

People need to use compost because it help with recycling, it helps the environment, AND it's not that hard.YOLO!!!!!!!!
I love reycleing because it is fun and it helps the earth.
i couldn't agree more. a lot of people think recycling is supid and boring but people really should do it more often it would help our world.
i tryed this my self its amazing that the earth and worms can do such a thing.
We have a garden and we use our compost as soil for our garden. It works realy well.
composting is a great idea because it is a better way to use food rather than wasting it
dirt is very important to live a healthy and happy life.worms are also important because they go into the process that takes about a week,and turn *compost into dirt.the process is a cycle.meaning,it goes over,and,over,and over again.this cycle has been going on for billions of years!so when you have compost,leave it to the worms! :) *compost (leaves,banana peels,excetera...)
we use compost at our house
it helps stuff grow.
Recycleing is important. Composting is good for the earth.
Dirt is used to make many living things. And with the help of water, sunlight and air the plant grows.
my dad does this in his work and tseaches us about this
its a great idea
if theres some of the things i hate, it's compost!

It is important to keep things in proportion in order to get a good compost

we are going to do this at school
we've done this at school!
ive done this in science class
dirt is importent to meny things. and it is cool tosee the cycle over time.
yeah dirt is sooooooooooo inportany just like air,water,and food
this reminds me when you moethe lawn and the grass in the tradh bin becpmes warm that how it decomposes.
i think everyone has a responcibility and they have to stick to it
I think compost is a good idea to share with people because the might try it and then use it their rest of there life.
compost has such a positive impact on all of our lives. it is a good way to recycle,too. so it's ecofriendly. i hope more people start composting so the world will be a better place.
this is a little weird but cool and good for the earth
Absolutely! Great way to use up kitchen scraps and yard waste. Then I get to use the compost in my garden next year.
Great and really interesting. Cool way to recycle, and awesome way to use scrapes.
composy is soo cooli have never seen something like that before awesome
This has been a fun project to work on and what has probably been the most interesting part was talking to lots of different people who compost and finding out how they all do it just a little bit different. There's a lot of latitude to getting good compost within the basic structure of the science that makes this all happen.
i think that the dirt cycle is cool. although i have not really seen it very much.
