Some the of the Year 4 Gardeners (Rosa, Eden, Zoe and Rochelle ) have been inquiring into:
How do you make COMPOST?
Compost is very important in a vege garden. It is something you add to soil for plants to eat so they grow big and strong...and yummy.
They found out that some of the main ingredients in compost are:
Dry leaves, green leaves, grass clippings and food scraps.
PROBLEM!!! We have lots of food scraps but not enough leaves or grass clippings. Where oh where could we find leaves??? ......................................... ???????
Finally, after much deliberation, these kids thought of Mark the caretaker who seems to have a lot of leaves at his disposal everyday.
So, the gardeners sat down with him in the library, joined forces and made a plan for Mark to put the leaves and any grass clippings from around the school into the food scrap bin or directly into the compost bin. Now we can make loads of compost to feed the plants.
GREAT WORK KIDS - GOOD SOLUTION!!!
