Composting and Growing

The Problem

My wish for this project is to improve health, reduce food waste, and illuminate chemical use on plants. I hope to make our world a better place, just by growing a bed full of vegetables, with all natural dirt and fertilizers.

Our Plan

My project will enable vegetable growth around my neighborhood, which currently is so desert-like that it is almost impossible to grow anything in the dirt. I will get a compost bin and put leftover food in it, that will then be composted into dirt that I can use for my plants. I will also build a bed for all of my vegetables, so that they will grow, without the struggle of unhealthy dirt. I can use my veggies for eating healthier, and I might even sell some to others, to encourage everyone else to eat healthy and organic.
