Tape transcript:
a/ What type of garbage can you put in the compost?
Today I’m going to explain how to start a compost heap. First of all you must use only vegetable matter, which include tea leaves, egg shells – but wash egg shells first – and tissues. Don’t use any meat or grain products because this attracts rats.
b/ Where is the best place for a compost heap?
Find a place in your garden that gets a few hours of sunlight each day. Use picks or shovels to turn the compost regularly so it gets of air.
c/ Should we water the compost?
The compost also needs moisture, but it will get this from condensation. Cover the heap with a sheet of strong plastic if the weather is very wet.
d/ How long does it take before you can use the compost?
Keep adding to the pile and after about six months, your compost will be ready to use as fertilizer.
