compost
How can I make my own compost?
I’m only 15 years old, and can’t afford buying a compost. How can I make my own compost? Or where could I find a cheap compost bin? And how do composts work?
Does it need to be spring or summer for a compost to work? Or can it work during the winter and fall also?
This is great! In bio class, we’re working on a project to reduce CO2 and making a compost pile is one way to do it too!
My friend’s experiment involved constructing a three sided crate from wood to hold the compost in. He then threw the dead leaves, dried grass, sticks and other decomposable material into it.
But the question is do you have a big yard? if you do then this crate will be a great thing to make compost out of. My house has a compost crate and it has tons of fertile soil!
Compost piles: when you pile layers of decomposable (natural) materials and leave it to decompose, you will get fertile soil. This is because the bacteria that breaks down the stuff has oxygen to survive. ( unlike garbage piles, which can be dozen feet high, there is no longer oxygen once you get below 8 – 9 feet so the bacteria cannot live so they do not decompose the trash we throw out: even if it is a decomposable plate or some dead leaves.)
Just make sure you turn your pile over once in a while to help oxygen get into the pile for those bacteria!
here’s a list of things to make compost useable:

you don’t necessarily need to buy one of these things.
Good luck! You don’t know how beneficial this is for you and your community.
