Nature's Recycling Trick
What is composting and how does it work?
You toss an apple core into a bin. A few weeks later, it's gone — not thrown away, just... transformed into dark, crumbly dirt that smells like a forest floor. Where did the apple go? Welcome to composting, nature's favorite recycling trick.
Composting is controlled rotting. You pile up food scraps and yard waste — banana peels, coffee grounds, dead leaves, grass clippings — and let tiny living things eat them. Those tiny eaters are bacteria and fungi, microscopic organisms so small a million could fit on your fingernail. They're everywhere, and they're always hungry.
