Practical Education in Recycling | Children love to learn through practical experience. Teach them about the value of recycling through composting food waste. |  | | | |
| They can learn how food waste can be turned into valuable and nutritious compost for growing their own seeds and plants. | | Our compost tumbler is easy to use and will turn both school kitchen food waste and waste from packed lunches into useable compost in 4 to 6 weeks. | | |
 | Children love using our composter, finding out how it works and
utilising compost that they have produced. | | | |
| There are loads of educational possibilities, including learning about recycling, waste reduction, the impact of methane gas, the biological composting process, how harmful bacteria are destroyed, using compost to grow plants, how bacteria work, the impact on soil and plant health and so on. |
| Our composter is easy to use, has two compartments to provide continuous composting and is insulated to ensure that proper temperatures are reached to destroy harmful bacteria whilst encouraging the composting process. |
| Using a long thermometer I put one in each side. The composted side was 34C the newer side was - get this - 59C!!!!!! It was 22C outside and there was steam coming from it. The children - and the adult TA's were amazed. We ended the afternoon by making 2L pop bottles into tube shaped pots and planted peas which they took home. |  | | | |
