Martin B Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hia, can someone help me please! I don't understand how compost is made. We put all the stuff into the compost bin and at the bottom(just checked) is compost. I don't understand how we put rotting carrots, veg s"Ooops, word censored!"s, branches etc in and then compost is made. Can somebody please tell me what happens? Kind Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 It's really interesting, isn't it Martin. I'm always talking to my daughters about how goodness is given back to the earth. It's a very clever system, but that's nature for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
