Hi and good
morning/afternoon my name is Kylie and my speech is about compost. I chose to
do this topic because compost is really sustainable and it could be really
interesting. I know a lot of things about compost and there are a lot of people
that use it for there garden. I haven’t used compost before but I’ve learnt
about it. Compost is a great soil conditioner and is one of the best things for
your garden. Compost is made out of garden waist such as lawn clippings and
dead plants.
It is sustainable because you can put it in
your garden and it will help your vegetables grow healthier. It has been
decomposed and recycled as a fertiliser and soil. Also compost is the key
ingredient to organic farming. It can also be made out of kitchen scraps,
banana peels, leaves, apple cores and straw. You can use a lot of things for
compost. It’s good to keep the compost wet so that the warmth keeps the
vegetables warm so in winter they won’t die of frost. In Egypt they spread the
compost straight onto the fields. Mostly 26% of compost is made out of kitchen
waist. Compost should not be used with starting plants because the soil will be
to strong. You cannot put anything in compost if it has thorns, seeds, bulbs,
vines or runners.
