Composting


Did you know that you can recycle your food? This week we learned about composting, another way to keep waste out of our landfills. We peeled some carrots for a snack and added the scraps to a box of soil. Then we took turns tearing up a piece of stale bread and added that. We ate peanuts and put the shells into our little bin. An apple core and a handful of grass clippings, and we were ready to start our experiment. We set our bin in a sunny spot and will check our compost pile weekly and see how it is doing.
