Do you know anything about carbon farming? Today I'm going to tell you what I know about carbon farming so far. We'll talk about earthworms and the four combinations of soil, etc. So let's learn a little about carbon farming!

As you know, there are more than 500 species of earthworms in the world, but there are only 14 species of earthworms that can eat food waste, which means they can help us with carbon farming. These 14 species of earthworms are called decomposers. These 14 species of earthworms help us create microorganisms that make our soil healthier.

Do you know the 4 components of soil? Soil is made by combining four different things. They are: soil, water, air, and microorganisms. We need good soil to compost. Earthworms are the key to making good soil because they help us make microbes. Good vegetables and fruits also need good soil. If we compost with carbon farming, we don't need to spray pesticides to grow vegetables and fruits.

So how to compost? To compost, we must first have a decomposer. There are many kinds of decomposers, and the earthworm we just mentioned is one of them. Decomposers are not only earthworms, but also spiders, cockroaches, centipedes, etc. To compost we need not only decomposers, but also a large number and variety of microorganisms.

Have you learned anything about carbon farming? Earthworms and microorganisms are important, right? We may not think it's important, but it's really important to compost with carbon farming. It is not only good for the earth itself, but also for us. If you have the chance, you must go to experience carbon composting!

大家知道有关于碳耕的事情吗？今天就给大家讲讲我目前所了解到的碳耕。我们会讲到有关于蚯蚓还有土壤的四个组合等。那么大家一起来稍微的了解下碳耕吧！

你们知道全世界有500多种蚯蚓，但是能吃厨餘也就是能帮助我们碳耕的蚯蚓也就只有14种而已。这14种蚯蚓被称作分解者。这14种蚯蚓帮助我们制造微生物，让土壤更健康。

你们知道土壤的4个组成吗？土壤是需要四种不同的东西组合而成的。分别是：土，水，空气，和微生物。我们要堆肥就要有好的土壤。蚯蚓就是可以让土壤变好的关键，因为它能帮我们制造微生物喔。好的蔬菜水果也是需要好的土壤才有的。如果我们碳耕堆肥的话，我们做农务根本不需要喷农药，蔬菜水果就会长得很好了。

那么如何堆肥呢？我们要堆肥首先我们要先有分解者。分解者有很多种，我们刚刚有提到的蚯蚓是其中一种分解者。分解者不仅仅有蚯蚓，还有蜘蛛，蟑螂，蜈蚣等。我们要堆肥不仅仅需要分解者，还需要大量且种类众多的微生物。

那么你有了解到一些有关于碳耕的事情了吗？蚯蚓和微生物很重要吧！平时我们可能觉得好像不是很重要，其实碳耕堆肥这种事情是真的很重要的。不仅仅对地球本身好，对我们也好。大家有机会一定要去体验看看碳耕堆肥喔！
