Composting and Fertilizer

We started composting this week and composting makes fertilizer.  Plants need a lot of chemical, such as carbon and oxygen. These are the most abundant they use, which they get from the air and water. Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium are the next most abundant elements. These three are in traditional fertilizer. The next elements are known as secondary elements and they are. Sulfer, Calcium and Magnesium are the tirshiary elements. They all are  the the basic building blocks of life.

Plants are needed for animal life on this planet. They are in a symbiotic relationship with all other life.  I learned ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is the main source for building all cells. Its worth noting that Potassium makes one to two percent of the plants weight and is essential to all the plant metabolism. From what I understand that without Nitrogen, Phosphates, and Potassium plants cannot grow. This is because it lacks the ability to create the pieces it needs to grow. Fertilzer supplies the plant with what it needs in abundance so it grows faster. From what I understand most soils supply Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium because the rest are needed in lower qualities. It makes sense that people do not need fertilizer because we get vitamins from the animals and plants we eat. One thing that was easy to understand is that plants are like factories that do the work of metabolising and getting vitamins for us.

We started composting and thus making fertilizer to help lessen our biological footstep and increase understanding of how much plants are important to us as well as all life in this world. It hopefully convinced you that composting is easy as well as possible for anyone who lives in all city buildings within our global community.
