Guest Blog by Composty

Hello, fellow eco-warriors! We are Composty, a sustainable brand of premium cleaning sponges and cloths. Everything you buy from us is as good as non-eco versions and fully compostable. We are thrilled to be a guest blogger on this fab little Easy Peasy Greeny blog… what a fab name!

Today, we’re going to have a chat about the fantastic benefits of composting and how to get your kids involved in the process. We’ll discuss creating a wormery and even how our very own Composty sponges can be a delightful treat for the worms! So, grab a cuppa and let’s dig into the world of composting, kids, and wormeries.

The Wonderful World of Composting
Why Composting is a Must for Eco-Friendly Families

First things first, let’s talk about the benefits of composting. By composting, you’re not only reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, but you’re also creating nutrient-rich soil for your garden. It’s an excellent way to teach your kids about the environment, recycling, and the magic of nature. Plus, it’s a fun and engaging activity the whole family can enjoy together!

Creating a Wormery
A Fun and Educational Project for the Kids

One brilliant way to get your kids excited about composting is by creating a wormery. A wormery is a simple and effective composting system where worms break down kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost. You can either buy a ready-made wormery or create your own using a plastic storage box with a lid, some bedding material (shredded newspaper or cardboard), and, of course, worms!

Setting up a wormery is a fantastic project to get your little ones involved in, as they’ll love watching the worms wriggle around and do their magic. Plus, it’s an excellent opportunity to teach them about the importance of recycling, the role of worms in the ecosystem, and how we can help our planet.

Composty Sponges: A Worm’s Delight
How Our Sponges Can Be a Treat for Your Wormery

Did you know that our Composty sponges can be a scrumptious treat for your wormery? That’s right! Our eco-friendly sponges are made from natural materials, making them completely biodegradable and perfect for your compost heap.

We recently heard from a lovely customer who shared that, in just three months, her worms had devoured an entire Composty loofah sponge, leaving only a few crumbs behind! To put that into perspective, she had also added some chopped apples at the same time, and there was still plenty of apple left. It’s clear that worms love our sponges, and we couldn’t be more delighted!

Getting Kids Involved
Tips and Tricks to Spark Their Interest in Composting

If you’re looking for ways to get your kids interested in composting, here are a few tips:

Make it fun: Turn composting into a game by challenging your kids to find suitable items to compost around the house or garden. You can even create a composting chart or bingo card to track their progress.

Be hands-on: Encourage your kids to get their hands dirty by helping you turn the compost, add materials, or set up the wormery.

Share the love: Teach your kids about the benefits of composting and how it helps the environment. Share interesting facts about worms, decomposition, and the amazing world of microorganisms.

Celebrate their efforts: Acknowledge your kids’ contributions to the composting process and praise their efforts. You can even create a “Compost Champion” certificate or award for their achievements!

In Conclusion
Composting is a wonderful, eco-friendly activity that the whole family can enjoy. By involving your kids in the process and creating a wormery, you’re not only teaching them valuable lessons about the environment but also creating lasting memories and fostering a love for nature. Remember, our Composty sponges are worm-approved, so don’t hesitate to add them to your compost heap or wormery. Who knew worms had such great taste?

So, eco-warriors, gather your little ones, roll up your sleeves, and embark on an exciting composting adventure together. With your combined efforts, you’ll not only create nutrient-rich soil for your garden but also contribute to a healthier, greener planet. Happy composting!
