Composting

This week for writing we were learning how to structure our writing into paragraphs. We wrote about composting. If you want to know what composting is, you can read my writing.  I enjoyed learning about composting because it was new learning for me. I found it tricky to write because I kept getting distracted. So I tried to not get distracted and here it is: 

Composting

What do you want to do to save the planet? Well, Composting is a great way to start.

What is it?

Composting is when you get together yard and kitchen rubbish and put them together with water and bugs like worms and fungi like mushrooms and they make it into soil that has nutrients.

How is it made?

It is made from Apple cores, dead leaves, Bread crusts, grass clippings, rotten fruit, dead flowers. So on. There are two types of compost rubbish. Green and Brown. Green is like fruit, veg and others from the kitchen. Brown is greenery like grass, flowers and leaves. You have to do it in a specific way to make it, like a chef. You stack the brown and green in layers and top it off with water, fungi and bugs. 

The benefits of composting

When you recycle you are saving the earth, growing more plants to eat and recycling rubbish!

Wow Facts!

You can compost with cockroaches, it has been used for cooking usually after being well wrapped in foil, and best of all, Cleopatra was so impressed with worms' composting ability, she made them sacred!
