Today when X Man comes into our class we will be making compost.
Our homework last week was getting our things ready for composting. We brought things like milk bottles, paper, grass clippings, dead flowers, cardboard, hay, straw, food scraps, eggshells and other interesting things. This will help us to make compost. We didn't need to worry about the worms because X Man is bringing them to add to our compost.
We think that first we will put dirt into the milk bottles that we brought to school. Then we will put the nitrogen and carbon on top of the dirt and then we will put the worms in.
Or we could put the nitrogen and carbon in first and put the dirt on top!
We are not completely sure how we will make compost but we are really excited and looking forward to it!
It was really fun making compost! We also found out we had to layer the carbon,nitrogen and dirt. We also used activator (lime) and worms.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun making compost!!! :)
Unfotuantly I missed out on making the worm farms with the class as I was sick at home, but the next day I went to school with one I had made at home!!! I am looking forward to X MANS next visit
ReplyDeleteI loved making our own mini compost. I keep cheeking on it when I go to school.
