*Tape transcript:
a) What type of garbage can you put in the compost?
Today I’m going to explain how to start a compost heap. First of all, you must use only vegetable matter
includes tealeaves, egg shells – but wash the shells first – and tissues. Don’t use any meat or grain products

because this attracts rats.
b) Where is the best place for a compost heap?
Find a place in your garden that gets a few hours of sunlight each day. Use pick or shovels to turn the
compost regularly so it gets plenty of air.
c) Should you water the compost?
The compost also needs moisture, but it will get this from condensation. Cover the heap with a sheet of
strong plastic if weather is very wet.
d) How long does it take before you can use the compost?
Keep adding to the pile and after about six months, your compost will be ready to use as fertilizer.
