Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor. pdboyer Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:25:23 GMT http://www.wisc-online.com/ListObjects.aspx Some great animations, simulations, and tutorials.

They contain 97 percent of all the water on Earth, a total volume of 329,000,000 cubic miles (1,327,000,000 cubic kilometers). pdboyer Fri, 04 Feb 2011 19:33:29 GMT http://www.scittscience.co.uk/ This is a blog I set up to share information with my PGCE science students at Billericay SCITT in Essex, UK. I hope to be able to answer some of the questions they have about science, and link to useful websites that they might find useful. Hopefully even get some of them to post here too! pdboyer Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:33:36 GMT http://www.nwf.org/Global-Warming/Effects-on-Wildlife-and-Habitat/Climate-Invaders.aspx National Wildlife Federation video on the effects of climate change on invasive species.
