Composting/tip 17



                              

            Do you have a composting bin? Well if not it’s about time to get one!  Why you ask, well because it’s good for the Earth and makes great soil for your plants. You can compost:

      Apple cores

      Egg shells

      Rotten fruit

      Banana peels

      Coffee filters

      Tea bags

      Used paper napkins                  

          and many, many more items! To compost and make your own soil, all you need is a bucket. You mix around all the things you put in your bin about 5-8 times a day. Then when it’s all decomposed you’ll have nice soil that won’t cost you nearly as much as if you were to go to the store and buy a huge bag of soil that your plants might not even like! Another great thing to do with your compost is put worms in it.
