Agri-science Mr. Bailey Composting...What is it? Agri-science Mr. Bailey

Behold the two bags!!!

What do these two bags have in common? Soon the leaf lifter will become topsoil Both soils containing living organisms

Compost Organic matter that has been decomposed and recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment.

Decompose rot: to break down organic matter from a complex to a simpler form, mainly through the action of fungi and bacteria

What does this do for the environment? Compost can be rich in nutrients Ecosystems: Erosion control Land and stream reclamation Wetland construction Landfill cover

Research Time!!! What is needed to make a productive compost pile? Groups of 3-4 Data sheets (answer pages 1-2 only)
