Composting is a process that involves (1) taking food and yard waste and mixing it with a bulking agent like sawdust, (2) letting the mixture decompose and rot, and (3) creating beneficial mulch that can be used as fertilizer in gardens. It is important to follow the recommended 1/2 waste to 1/2 bulking agent recipe to prevent bugs and smells, and to wear gloves and wash hands when working with compost.

The document discusses the need to manage natural resources due to the increasing human population and utilization of resources. It notes that natural resources need to be managed for future generations and to ensure equal distribution. Resource management is important to protect the environment from overexploitation of resources. Various methods are mentioned to conserve natural resources such as recycling, reusing, and reducing waste.
Final2
The document discusses behaviorism as a learning theory that focuses on observable behaviors and discounts mental activities. It explains that new behaviors are formed through prompting, fading, and positive reinforcement. The document also contains questions and examples about how students using a sentence master software program are learning sight words through these behaviorist techniques.
Bill Rees: The Vulnerability and Resilience of Cities
Bill Rees, originator of the ecological footprint, says we are already into overshoot. We can plan to reduce our use of Earth's resources, or plunge through a series of disasters.
Full keynote speech from "Resilient Cities" conference. Vancouver, October 20th 2009
Placevaluemajor
This document introduces place value concepts through an interactive lesson. It defines digits and numbers, and explains that numbers can have any number of digits grouped in sets of three with commas. It uses an analogy of a neighborhood to explain the different place values: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc. The lesson has students identify digits in certain places and state the value of multi-digit numbers by saying the digit and its place value. More practice is provided to reinforce memorization of place value names and expressing a number's value verbally.
Proposalpresentation
This proposal suggests creating a website to improve communication between teachers, parents, and students. A survey of teachers found communication was a major issue. The website would include classroom policies, frequently asked questions for parents, and student study tips. It would allow teacher explanations, a parent message board, and downloadable forms. The creator would oversee the site with IT assistance. The goal is to evaluate whether the site improves relationships and student outcomes through better communication.
Behaviorismpowerpoint
The document discusses whether the program Sentence Master proves itself to behaviorist conditioning principles. It suggests that the program may not effectively teach in this way and proposes trying another teaching method instead. The document repeats sections discussing behaviorism and conditioning as well as offering to try another teaching approach.
Doenças causadas por bactérias
Este documento lista as principais doenças causadas por bactérias em seres humanos e animais, incluindo infecções como tuberculose, cólera, difteria e outras.

Companion Planting and Composting
This document provides information on companion planting and composting. It discusses how certain plants support each other when grown together, forming cooperative groups called guilds. It also explains the benefits plants can provide when grown with other plants or animals, such as improving soil conditions, providing shelter, and hosting predators. The document then covers the basics of composting, including suitable materials, constructing a compost pile, and signs that compost is ready. Tips are also provided, such as how to compost diseased plants, perennial weeds, and different garden wastes.

Vermicompost
Compost is simply decomposed organic material. The organic material can be plant material or animal matter. While composting may seem mysterious or complicated, it’s really a very simple and natural process that continuously occurs in nature, often without any assistance from mankind. If you’ve ever walked in the woods, you’ve experienced compost in its most natural setting. Both living plants and annual plants that die at the end of the season are consumed by animals of all sizes, from larger mammals, birds, and rodents to worms, insects, and microscopic organisms. The result of this natural cycle is compost, a combination of digested and undigested food that is left on the forest floor to create rich, usually soft, sweet-smelling soil. Backyard composting is the intentional and managed decomposition of organic materials for the production of compost, that magical soil enhancer that is fundamental to good gardening. Anyone can effectively manage the composting process.
Composting Manual
This document provides an introduction and overview of home composting and environmentally responsible gardening. It discusses the benefits of composting such as returning nutrients to soil, reducing pollution, and cost savings. The document explains that composting is the process of recycling organic materials by creating conditions for microorganisms to convert these materials into a beneficial soil amendment. It provides examples of materials that can and cannot be composted at home, noting that food scraps, yard waste, and certain paper products can be composted to reduce waste.

Sustainable Gardening Manual - Whittlesea, Australia
1. Growing your own vegetables is healthier, more convenient, and kids enjoy watching them grow.
2. A "no dig" vegetable garden requires low maintenance by building layers of compostable materials like pea straw and manure instead of digging.
3. Growing your own vegetables means they retain more vitamins since they don't lose nutrients during long-distance transport and storage like commercially grown produce.
Presentation1
This document provides guidance on improving soil quality through composting. It discusses testing soil type through simple tests, making compost by layering brown and green materials, and ensuring the compost pile has adequate water and oxygen through regular turning. Fully decomposed compost/humus is dark and earthy, and improves soil structure, nutrient content, and plant health when added to gardens.
Companion Planting: Greenfingers Environmentally Friendly Gardening - Leicest...
The document discusses how to garden in an environmentally friendly way. It provides tips for reducing waste and using sustainable materials. Some key points include using compost and mulch to nourish soil instead of chemicals, collecting rainwater for watering, planting drought-resistant species, and creating habitats for beneficial wildlife like ladybugs and lacewings to naturally control pests.

Insa Riepens: Composting What Why How
This document provides information on composting, including what composting is, why people should compost, and how to start and maintain a compost pile. Composting transforms organic waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment by creating conditions for microorganisms to break down materials. Maintaining the proper balance of brown and green materials, moisture, air, and soil allows for an efficient decomposition process. Examples of suitable compostable materials include yard trimmings and some food scraps, while meat, oils, and diseased plants should be avoided. Regularly turning and mixing the pile helps aeration.
Green Gardening On Maui
Green gardening involves cultivating plants in an environmentally friendly way to provide for community needs while improving the environment for future generations. It focuses on building good soil, minimizing pesticide and herbicide use, using organic fertilizers and amendments, appropriate watering, and selecting plants suited to the climate. Proper soil care, plant selection, and maintenance can help gardens thrive with fewer problems. Hawaii has unique climate zones and soils that require observation-based gardening suited to each area.

Editor's Notes
- My husband comes into my school and teaches composting. He explains to all of the students what composting is and that it needs to have a certain recipe in order for it to work. I was hoping that this could give him a visual to work from. I believe then we will appeal to the visual learners as well as the oral learners. This PowerPoint presentation will be used to explain the process of composting to third graders. It will teach them the steps of composting before we physically do the work. I am hoping that this will give the students an overall picture of the process so that they can understand each step as we go through it.
