Compost
This photo was taken in my back yard in Cary, North Carolina. My family composts bio degradable food items like egg shells, coffee beans, etc. In the picture there is a earthworm, Lumbricina. The earthworms are decomposers so they, ingest the food material and excrete it out as waste. The waste produced by the earthworms is a nutrient rich soil that can be used in gardening. The waste produce from the worms is full of carbon and nitrogen. The plants are able to get the nutrients they need to grow from this waste product.
