Home composting is often considered the most environmentally beneficial way to deal with household biodegradable waste. The reason for this is that it reduces the harmful emissions and costs associated with transporting the compost, ensures careful control of the materials used and increases consumer awareness of environmental issues. Compost is often called "black gold" for soil. It has a positive effect on moisture content and organic food materials. Increases air exchange and changes and stabilizes soil acidity.

How to make a vegetable garde?
One of the tasks was to meet the students with Mr. Krzysztof Młynarczyk, who told the students in Primary Scool Nr 1 in Stara Wies about the management of organic waste. In the modern world, 40% is organic waste. We can, however, manage them in a composter. Compost is one of the best types of fertilizers for plants. It provides plants with many nutrients, contributing to the proper development of plants in our gardens. It is a source of humus, which significantly improves the soil structure, and our vegetables are tastier and healthier because they grow without chemicals. The students could learn about all this from his lecture on how to build a composter, how it works, and why we create it in our gardens.

We collected our organic wastes in school and took away them to our Municipality compose center. The Municipality of Keçiören has important studies on the making of the organic waste. There are two parts of the compost used here. The first is the compost fertilizer, the second of the ripening section. They grind organic waste with mixers in compost fertilizer first. Grinded waste 15 days is held in this section. The milled waste is then blended in the ripening section and rest here 15 days. The compost fertilizer is obtained at the end of a 30-day period. They do not use any substances other than sawdust during production. In particular, waste vegetables and fruits containing acid do not prefer to damage the land. Apart from leaving the wastes to the chamber of the compost, they are manufacturing in any way. They also present fertilizers in packages that bring organic waste. 1 ton in the summer, while in winter, 500 kilograms obtain fertilizers. "
