Compost

Compost is like magic dirt! It's made by collecting things like fruit and vegetable scraps, grass clippings, and leaves, and putting them in a pile to decompose. The decomposing is done by little bugs and microorganisms that love to eat all the scraps!

As the bugs and microorganisms eat, they break down the scraps and turn them into soil. This soil is filled with really important nutrients for plants, and it helps them grow big and strong! When we use compost on our plants, they are super happy and healthy.

Composting is really good for the environment too! When we compost, we are keeping all those scraps out of the garbage, and reducing the amount of trash that goes to the landfill. This is great for the planet because landfills can be really bad for the environment!

So, compost is a pile of scrappy things that get eaten by bugs and turned into super soil. Using compost helps plants grow big and strong and keeps the environment clean and healthy!
