This month on the ChopChop podcast we dig deep into… Compost! What is it? Why is it good for your plants? We are joined by Jayne Merner of Earthcare farm to talk about tips for home composting. Check out Jayne’s show The Composter wherever you get your podcasts. We also speak with Georgia, a fifth-grader who noticed a lot of food scraps in the garbage at school, and decided to do something about it. She started a compost program for her cafeteria, and you can too!

Music in this episode includes modified versions of: "Cheesy Radio Ballad" and "Jazzy Inquisitors" by Lisa Hammer, "Kerplunk" by Mr. Smith, and "Fastest Man on Earth" by Jahzzar
