Making compost
Hey guys we are saving the earth this week and we gonna give you some tips on how to do just that.....We gonna show you how to make compost out of decomposed food.There are two types of materials that you can compost..They're greens which are high in nitrogen,and browns which are high in carbon..
ingredients you can use are..
1.Egg shells(greens)
2.Overly ripe fruit(greens)
3.Fruit cores(greens)
4.Used and dried tea bags(greens)
5.Small pieces of cardboard(browns)
6.Handfull of soil(browns)
6.Two jars
7.Surgical gloves
once you have all your ingredients crushed together then place it in a dark,dry place away from your house in something like an old bin.... leave the ingredients to decompose while you continue to add more waste and soil.It will start decomposing immediately but will take about 5 months for it to be ready to use...It will be dark brown when its ready for use....
p.s guys these are foods that shouldn't be added to compost...Cooked food,dairy products,meat and bones,and remember the smaller thins are cut up the faster i will decompose...
