The tiny living things in the compost heap turn the food scraps into fresh

soil. HOW DO THEY DO THIS?

Bacteria and fungi break down food scraps into smaller pieces

Worms eat the rotting food

Worms break down the food into smaller and smaller bits. Worms poo out rich soil.

WORM POO IS A GREAT FERTILIZER!!!

Woodlice chew up dead plants. Their poos are full of nutrients.

Flies vomit on their food before they eat it. The vomit helps to break down the food.

GREAT FERTILIZER!
