My awesome composting form

WALT: Create a from about composting.
I found it challenging to think of questions. I enjoyed getting to create a form. To be BTB (Better than before) I could add more questions.   In Maori because it is Te wiki o te reo Maori

TE WAI: Hangaia mai i te whakaranu.
I kitea e au he wero ki te whakaaroaro i nga paatai. I pai ahau ki te hanga ahua. Hei BTB (Pai ake i mua atu) ka taea e au etahi atu paatai.

Composting

By Lucy

Composting is a term that you use to describe putting food waste and natural sources
into a bin to make fertiliser for your garden.

In compost there are food scraps (Green waste) and natural waste (Browns). Green

Waste includes apple cores, banana peels and other food scraps. Browns include

paper, cardboard and leaves. It’s important not to compost meat and plastics because

they will slow down the efficacy of your compost bin. In compost there is also

bacteria. Bacteria include actinomycete. Actinomycete is the microorganism that

causes the stinky smell.

Composting works when decomposers eat the  food waste then it becomes a fertiliser

for your garden. Decomposers include worms, pill bugs, ants, centipedes and other

bugs.

Composting the soil allows it to get the nutrients to help the garden flourish. We

don’t have to buy it. It is a way of getting rid of our food scraps. It is also a way of

reducing, Reusing and Recycling, It’s also a sustainable way of living.
