Compost: 5 Minute Freewrite

(Edited)
I remember when I lived in the Venezuelan plains. My grandmother loved agriculture and she used to prepare compost which she had her own way of preparing it. Once I asked her and she told me that she used organic materials. And they were subjected to a process of decomposition. What I do know is that the soil became very fertile. My grandmother laughed and said that I was very curious and inquisitive. I loved to investigate everything she did in agriculture because everything she harvested was given to her.

One day I told her: "Grandma, explain to me calmly how you prepare the compost and she laughed. She took me by the hand and took me to a field where she prepared it. She explained to me that she took a space where she stored food waste, egg shells, spoiled fruit, vegetables, animal remains such as meat, bones, skin, etc., so that they would form a compost. In order for microbes to form and decompose and get very good nutrients for plants which is called compost.

I found it very interesting what my grandmother explained to me. She learned to prepare it with my grandfather Carlos. He was an expert in preparing this type of compost. The compost is very easy to prepare and does not require great expense to prepare it. It does not pollute the environment and brings many benefits. It is wonderful and at home you do not lose any of the inorganic wastes that are collected and thrown on the land prepared to start planting and producing many products that come from the earth. I remember my grandmother planting pumpkins plants, yuccas, carrots, eggplants, etc. in that land prepared with the compost. And we always had to eat at home.

Recuerdo cuando viva en los llanos venezolanos. Mi abuela le encantaba la agricultura y vivia preparando composta el cual ella misma tenia su manera de prepararlo. Una vez le pregunte y me dijo que utilizaba materiales de origen orgánico. Y eran sometidos a un proceso de descomposición. Lo que sí sé es que los suelos se ponían muy fértil. Mi abuela se reía y decía que era muy curioso y preguntón. Me encantaba investigar todo lo que ella hacia en la agricultura porque todo lo que cosechaba se le daba.

Un día le dije: -abuela explícame con calma como preparas el composta y se echo a reír. Me tomo de la mano y me llevo a un terreno donde ella lo preparaba. Me explico que agarra un espacio y allí almacenaba desperdicios que quedaban de comidas, cascaras de huevos, frutas en mal estado, al igual que vegetales, restos de animales como carnes, huesos, piel, etc. Con la finalidad de que se formen microbios y se descompongan y se obtienen nutrientes muy buenos para las plantas la cual se llama abono.

Me pareció muy interesante lo que me explicaba mi abuela. Ella aprendió a prepararlo con mi abuelo Carlos. Que era todo un experto en preparar este tipo de abonos. El composta es muy fácil de preparar y no requiere gran gasto para prepararlo. No contamina el ambiente mas bien le trae muchos beneficios. Es una maravilla y en casa no se pierde nada de los desechos inorgánicos los van recogiendo y arrojando en el terreno preparado para empezar a sembrar y producir muchos productos que vienen de la tierra. Recuerdo que mi abuela sembraba en ese terreno preparado con el composta matas de auyamas, de yucas, zanahorias, berenjenas, etc. Y siempre en casa teníamos que comer.
