Read the following passage. Then answer the questions it in the
provided against the questions :
What do you do with your orange peels and corn cobs after you are
done eating? Most people throw them in the trash can. But food leftovers
do not have to go into the trash. They are biodegradable, which means that
they can be broken down by bacteria into natural materials. People who like
to garden often put their fruit and vegetable scraps in a special place known
as a compost pile. A compost pile is a spot outdoors where food waste can
break down into compost, which gardeners use. This process takes several
months. Once the compost is created, people spread this mixture in their
gardens to add nutrients to the soil. The compost in the soil helps new plants
grow in the garden. How do you take care of a compost pile? It needs air,
water and heat. Bacteria and other microorganisms break down the food waste
into more basic elements like water and carbon dioxide. This process requires
oxygen, so people use a shovel to turn compost regularly and help air reach
all parts of the pile. The pile cannot dry out, so it should be covered to
keep moisture in. Finally, heat speeds up the process. This means a compost
pile should be in the sun for at least part of the day. Food leftovers are
not the only things that turn into compost. You can also add yard waste like
grass clippings, dried leaves, and straw. In fact, you should add these things
to create a healthy balance in your compost. But do not add any weeds to
your compost pile unless you want to grow weeds in your garden! Sometimes
seeds are left behind in the compost. This can be a welcome surprise if you
find a tomato plant sprouting where you had not planted one. The tomato
seed was hiding in the compost, waiting to begin a new life in the garden.
