Materials and Apparatus~

1. First and foremost, we need the composting container to compost our waste such as flower pots and bins. These container help us to know the volume of the production of composting. If you don't have containers, you may compost on the backyard land. In this project, we use flower pots for the composting.

2. Secondly, the important material that we must have is the soil. Soil is the place where the degradation of waste take place. In selecting the soil, we need to select the soil that contains organic materials which can be found at the first layer of the soil because this layer has a lot population of micro-organism such as worm that helping in composting process.
