Transcript of The tiny living things in the compost heap
The tiny living things in the compost heap turn the food scraps into fresh
soil. HOW DO THEY DO THIS?
Bacteria and fungi break down food scraps into smaller pieces
Worms eat the rotting food
Worms break down the food into smaller and smaller bits. Worms poo out rich soil.
WORM POO IS A GREAT FERTILIZER!!!
Woodlice chew up dead plants. Their poos are full of nutrients.
Flies vomit on their food before they eat it. The vomit helps to break down the food.
GREAT FERTILIZER!
