Get all the dirt on compost
normanack
It might look like dirt, but these hands are holding compost created from common household wastes. Mixed in to the ground, compost adds nutrients to our soils.
Compost
How much do you think about the garbage you toss away? A little more thought along with careful sorting of our wastes can greatly reduce the amount of trash we bury in the ground. And much of that sorted waste can be turned into nutrient-rich compost that can augment the soils of our yards and gardens to give back a little bit.

Check the case next to the wall to see composting action. Each tray shows a different stage of the composting process. Don't worry about any smell. Special filters keep any stink from getting out!!!

I think you are right because part of the plants go into the soil. when it gets warm it turns into dirt and the dirt is fresh and helps the plant grow better.
save the Earth so we don't have a poloted planet and do not need to put trash in space and do not polot other planets and have a good life and good times.
I agree with you because if we have a polluted world what would we drink we would be drinking polluted water and that is bad for our bodies and our world would be destroyed, we would have no where to live and the Ozone layer would be destroyed and if the Ozone layer is destroyed the sun rayes are directly shining on us we would get sick and millions of people would get different types of deseases and cancer and millions of people would die every day!
IT IS A DIRTY JOB BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO DO IT

I think composting is a great way to save a variety of the Earth's animals, it also gets rid of your spare dirt, dead leaves, etc.
Remember, save the Panguolin they're getting to the point of extinction, and check out the new bat species, Myotis Mystaticus.

as beneficial as compost is to our environment, it also smells quite bad........
though this is just my opinion
Yes, especially in NORCO, California. It is almost a public nuisance to the surrounding counties, the smell carries so far. They say compost also causes global warming. But then again, so did Al Gore till he sold his company to Arab oil interests. lol! :-)
