Making a compost heap

After that we learnt how to make a compost heap. There was a green bin and a brown bin. In the green bin there were green leaves, old cabbage, lettuce, banana peels and apple cores which are all a little bit wet. Grass clippings are green waste too but not too much because it’s no good for the F.B.I. to breathe. In the brown bin there were dry twigs and leaves. We went on a twig hunt for the compost heap. We put some green materials and some brown materials on the compost heap. A compost heap needs to be on the ground so worms can get in. It can get so warm that sometimes cats sleep on it. Compost heaps also need to be moist.
