Composting is organic matter that has been decomposed or recycled into the soil. It helps the environment because the material might have nutrients. So when it is placed in the soil, the worms and bacteria eat it and poops out the nutrients to help the soil to grow plants better. Without composting, the plants won't have enough nutrients which will cause the plant to die.That is why we need to compost ( and it is not throwing plastic or bad things in the soil).

Organic matter is dead animals and/or plants and these are the ingredients to compost. Compost is needed to have healthy soil. Healthy soil is important because plants will grow bigger and stronger. If a plant is grown in dry soil with no nutrients, they won't grow. Healthy soil is important to grow many types of food. That is why soil and keeping it healthy is so important.

Composting is tetchily recycling. Composting is good for the environment because it makes more soil. Worms also live in it and eats all the organic matter. After they eat the organic matter they poop out good nutrients. The nutrients helps the soil. That is why composting is good for the environment!!!

Compost gives the proper nutrients to soil. Worms live in the soil, eating organic matter. After eating, it goes through their body, giving soil more nutrients. Compost helps by giving worms food, and giving vitamins and minerals to the soil at the same time!

Composting is an organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment. Compost is a key ingredient in organic farming. At the simplest level, the process of composting simply requires making a heap of wetted organic matter (leaves, “green” food waste) and waiting for the materials to break down into humus after a period of weeks or months. Modern, methodical composting is a multi-step, closely monitored process with measured inputs of water, air, and carbon-and nitrogen-rich materials. The decomposition process is aided by shredding the plant matter, adding water and ensuring proper aeration by regularly turning the mixture.

Composting is when nutrients that come from manure, dead animals, etc and they put the right nutrients which is better than fertilizing.Composting is important because we wouldn't have healthy soil and no good grown food. It also is important because it helps grow better plants and food. Also The nutrients help soil grow better trees, without trees we would have barely any oxygen. That is Why Composting is important.

What is compost? Compost is not man made,come from something living or once living. For example honey, banana, apples, fruits/ veg animals insects also bacteria. Compost is not an organic matter. Compost is were you put the worms. Why do you put worms there? is because the worm will eat the compost. When the worms eat the compost then they can help the plants grow. They also help make more soil. That is what compost is.

Compost is made out of brown leaves and green grass. Composting controlled process of natural conversion. Composting also has organic materials that also by micro organism. Composting removes 500lbs of organic matters. Composting is simply a combination of yard debris. The fun part is that composting is fun to do cause you can learn about composting and learn how to make compost.

Composting is when you put organic trash to make new soil. A household has 3/4 of trash that can be composted. Compost is important because it helps the environment. Compost is made by breaking up minerals and nutrients in the soil. Worms eat minerals and poop out nutrients.

What is nutrients. Nutrients is like plants it helps you grow. If you grow beans then you can get nutrients for all of the plants. Also 807 atmosphere is made out of nitrogen. What I am saying is that you need nutrients and proteins like nitrogen to grow and to survive. Legumes beans take nitrogen from air and add it to the soil.

Nutrients, such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous, are very important to healthy soil. Plants use these nutrients in order to stay healthy and grow. After a while, plants will use most of the nutrients in the soil. Compost is a good way to give soil the nutrients plants need. Bacteria decomposes the compost emitting these nutrients back into the soil.

The three main nutrients are pottasium, nitrogen, and phosphorous. Nitrogen helps build up the plant so that it grows, with no nitrogen the plant would probably be smaller maybe one inch. Pottasium protects the plant from viruses and predators. And Phosphorous helps with photosynthesis. Composting is a great way to recycle nutrients so you should try composting those are general facts about plant nutrients.

Composting is were we put our banana peels, apple cores, rotten veg / fruits and other food that can break down. Composting can help the soil become strong and healthy. In our garden we have a worm bin and we put compost in to it because the food is good for soil. Compost is good for the plants because it is organic and it is returning the plants food from earth. That is all about composting.

Companion plants is when you put plants together and then they help each other.I think you should not put hormworms with tomato plants because then there will be no more leaves left.Sunflowers and corn make very good companions.Why because sunflowers are very thought so the ants and the aphids stay away.The sunflowers and the corn are good because they discourage raccoons from ravaging the sweet corn and sunflower seeds.That ifs what companion plants mean.
