Julian's speech

JULIAN'S SPEECH

An expert went to the school and explained to us some things about organic farming, also he showed to us the step by step for doing our own organic farm.

First he explained the difference between organic and non-organic wastes. Organic wastes are the ones that can decompose easyly, so we can make compost with it. And non-organic wastes are the ones that are very difficult to decompose, so we can recycle them

Then he told to us what compost was. Compost  s like an organic fertilizer, it consists in putting organic wastes in a little bag for about 3 months and letting them decompose, then you can mix the soil with this compost.

 He also told to us the differences between organic farming and conventional farming. In conventional farming lots of fertilizers are used to grow the plants, and in organic farming natural compost is used. 

Then he explained how do insects ara taken away in conventional farming and in organic farming. In conventional.f they use pestizides to kill insects, but they also kill some insects that are vital for the plant to grow, so they need to put more fertilizer on the plant. Otherwise, in organic.f what they do is to plant different kinds of plants, what happens is that one plant helps the other to kill the bad insects, so the bad insects die and the good ones still alive and helping the plant to grow.

 Finally he explained the step by step of compost making. First you need to clasify your wastes, the organic ones in one place the non-organic ones in another. Then you need to put the organic ones in a little bag. You need to wait for around 3 months. Finally whent the 3 months have passed take it out and mix it with soil. Your compost must be ready!!!
