What is Compost?
Compost is made from things that were once alive, like fruit peels, leaves, and vegetable scraps, which break down into rich soil. It's like magic food for plants!
Benefits of Compost
- Helps Plants Grow Strong: Compost has lots of nutrients that plants need to be healthy and grow well.
- Keeps Soil Healthy: It makes the soil soft and full of tiny living creatures that help plants.
- Reduces Waste: Instead of throwing food scraps in the trash, making compost turns them into something useful.
- Good for the Environment: Composting helps reduce trash in landfills and lowers pollution.
- Saves Water: Compost helps soil hold water better, so plants don’t need to be watered as much.
