Janelle took notes as the professor finished the discussion on what plants needed to grow and be healthy. Then the talk turned to compost. What could be used for compost? So many things could be used and the students' answers reflected that fact. Janelle had an answer, a good one too. Raising her hand, she hoped that she would get called on before someone else thought of her answer.

"Worms are used in compost. They turn the garbage into even better stuff for the plants, right?" The whole process sounded pretty gross, but the outcome was positive.......so it was a good thing overall. As for the difference between compost and fertilizer, Janelle had some thoughts, but wasn't really sure how to explain everything.
