a) What type of garbage can you put in the compost?
Today I’m going to explain how to start a compost heap First of all you must use only vegetable matter which includes tea leaves, egg shell-but wash the shell first- and tissues Don’t use any meat or grain products
because this attract rats.
b) Where is the best place for the compost heap?
Find a place in your garden that gets a few hours of sunlight each day Use pick or shovels to turn the compost regularly so it gets plenty of air
c) Should you water the compost?
The compost also needs moisture, but it will get this from condensation Cover the heap with a sheet of strong plastic if the weather is very wet
c) How long does it take before you can use the compost?
Keep adding to the pile and after about six months, your compost will be ready to use as fertilizer.

Papermaking is a simple process The procedure is almost the same as it was 200 years ago Look closely at the picture of an old papermaking machine On the left is the pulp vat Paper pulp was placed in the vat and mixed with a lot of water The water was then drained and the pulp fibers were poured out of the vat and onto a conveyor belt The conveyor belt took them under the rollers There were quite a lot of rollers
as you can see These rollers smoothed the fibers and pressed them dry The finished paper was then put
on a roller at the end You can see the roll of paper at the far right of the picture.
