Composting
Around the House: Composting
Have you ever looked into your garbage and found that it smelled disgusting? Well of course you have! Do you know why it smells so bad? It is because if you throw food into the garbage, it starts decomposing and rotting. A way to prevent that is by composting. The good thing is, your garbage will not stink and it makes your soil richer and fertile. Here is how to do it!
Step #1- Dig a deep hole.
Step #2- Put all the food, egg shells, peels, or cores that you want to compost into a bowl.
Step #3- Dump all of the contents into the hole.
Step #4- Put plants (alive or dead) onto the compost.
Step #5- Make that a routine. After every meal, if you have any leftovers, put them into a bin or bowel and put dump them in the hole.
Step #6 (optional but helpful)- To speed up the process, buy worms and put them into the hole.
Step #7- Enjoy healthy plants, nice smelling garbage, (though you would think that's an oxymoron,) and think about how you made food, that would have been in a landfill, useful!
Here is another way to do your hole:
Instead of a hole, use a tomato supporter and stick it into the ground. Then, put a very small one into the center of that( you might have to have the first one be very big). Now, use the pattern of food, dead plants/ yard waste, then soil(insert the matter in the gap between the small and big supporter). Do this every night, and you will have bugs and dirt that is perfect for growing plants within a week. This is a big money saver, because now cow poop(the normal dirt) is very expensive. You might want to use the other method for corn cups though.
