Homemade Compost

Today we'll make some compost. 

Compost is good for plants. It's like food for them. It makes them grow better and healthier. Compost is the decomposition of organic waste where the vegetables and animals rests are transformed into fertilizer.

In the video we show you how to make a homemade compost bin using plastic bottles.

Compost can have different elements and each compost is different from others due to the elements that you put inside. Let's see what we can use to make it.

To make the compost we´ll need:                We can´t put:

organic rests                                                    inorgnic rests (such as plastic, metal, glass)

vegetable peels                                                bones, fish and meat

coffee wells                                                       liquids (such as milk, coffee, oil, alcohol) 

egg shells                                                          dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese)  

prunning remains, dry leaves                       battery

WARNIGS

1. Take the leached away every day to avoid smells. You can dilute it in ten parts of water and use it to water your plants: it's rich in nutrients and microrganisms that helps your plants to grow.
2. If you cut your vegetable waste in small pieces they will degradate sooner, and remember to cover with a thin layer of soil every day to avoid smells. 
3. Keep away from adding cooked food, fish waste or meat. the decomposition can cause smells that are unpleasent in a urban environment.
4. You must steer clear of introducing infected plants in your compost, otherwise you could spread the pests into your garden.

It will take two or three months to mature and be an organic sustrate to mix with soil for your plants. 

We hope that you liked our compost bin for a city balcony.

Tasty Potato Salad

Look at our video, please follow us. ♥️

Today, we will start our cooking session. 

We will make a potato salad with tuna. It's so easy that you can do it without any problems. 

I also give you a small pill of science in the kitchen. Watch the video and try too ....

Please, use the following ingredients:

• Potatoes (enough for four people)
• Canned tuna
• Salt
• Olive Oil.

This salad is easy to make and very tasty. If you like, you can add more ingredients such as olives, boiled eggs, oregano or tomate cherry.

Be careful, you can get burnt with boiling water and as a result of using too much salt you can get sick, so use the less possible. 😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾

To save water and reuse it, you can reserve the potato boiling water for watering plants when it is cold: it is rich in nutrients!

We hope that you enjoy our cooking experience and the salad.
