This is my entry for the Amazing Nature Contest
#Amazingnature
I like that the theme for this contest is subway because it is an excellent opportunity to recognize what we often take for granted; to recognize biodiversity and the importance of the soil and the beings that inhabit it.
In this opportunity, I will share with you this project that has been in development for months. Thanks to a university class, specifically environmental physics, I learned about the term composting and a little about its process. It was there where the idea of composting at home began to grow, making me responsible for my organic waste and preventing it from going to the landfill to pollute more.
In the beginning, I started with a lot of enthusiasm, but little by little I lost it, due to several factors, one of them is that I had many doubts and I didn't know if I was doing it right, among other things. That's why I stopped doing it. Although I recognize that in the process I learned a lot.
So it was that months later looking for a program that implemented this modality I found a growing company that offers various composting plans, so the excellent news, for me of course 😄 is that again the organic waste that I generate is being managed.
Composting is possible because various populations of microorganisms break down complex organic matter; in particular, we are going to look at annelids which are decomposing organisms also present in the process.
As I have read, earthworms play a fundamental role in the health of the soil, and consequently of the organisms that live from it. The Egyptians long ago were partly right to consider them "lesser gods" because after the flooding of the Nile they introduced the silt making the soil more fertile. Nowadays it is recognized thanks to scientific studies that earthworms by elaborating their galleries improve the structure of the soil and its hydric properties, and by feeding on organic matter they help its decomposition facilitating plants a better absorption of nutrients since through the process they become assimilable for them.

This is an image of how I am currently managing the organic waste thanks to the program, this jar is taken once a week and they bring an empty one.
in four months it will be ready.
this was my first encounter with composting
This is the result after 10 months. In the gif you can see the initial part of the process. And for it to get this far you have to make sure that it has good aeration and humidity, among other factors that surely escape me.

Thank you for entering the competition.
Interesting explanation of the topic. You're right. The underground is not just caves or galleries. Often it is enough to "sink" the spade in the garden and see what is hidden in a piece of clay. Earthworms are very useful creatures :-)
