Teens Learn Benefits of Composting
High school students at our Addison Club delivered a full scale presentation on the benefits of composting. Together the kids built a 3’x3’x3’ outdoor raised garden that was used to house the compost. In their presentation, teens detailed the importance of composting and emphasized how it is beneficial for soil cultivation. Kids used a collection of yard waste and biodegradable materials, including: fruits, veggies, cardboard, banana peels, eggshells, orange peels, coffee grounds, house plants, leaves, newspaper and wood chips. In their presentation they explained how the slurry of materials makes for a rich compost and creates soil packed with nutrients for growing a verdant garden.
