Creating compost
TLF ID A002843
Compost is created when organic materials such as twigs, leaves, dry grass and kitchen food scraps break down. Composting is a great way to reduce the amount of landfill that is produced, and also provides soil full of good nutrients that can be used on the garden. OUTCOMES of this learning activity are for students to: follow a procedure to create compost; understand the need for carbon rich (brown materials) and nitrogen rich (green materials) ingredients to create healthy compost; promote composting to influence others attitudes and behaviours; and value compost as an important part of soil, which sustains us and other living things who share the earth with us.
