Peppa Pig

George and Peppa find out that the worms living in Grandpa’s compost heap are responsible for converting the vegetable peelings they add into fertiliser. The children watch as the worms break down the waste, turning it into a nutrient‑rich product for the garden.

Grandpa’s Compost Heap is a short episode of the children’s programme that follows the familiar adventures of Peppa Pig and her little brother George. The show presents everyday situations in a light‑hearted, relatable way, and this instalment centres on a visit to their grandparent’s garden. In this particular story, the siblings stumble upon the bustling activity inside Grandpa’s compost heap. While exploring, they notice a number of worms wriggling through the material and realise that these creatures are turning the vegetable peelings they’ve tossed in into a useful fertiliser. The episode highlights the simple yet fascinating role the worms play in the heap, showing how the discarded bits of carrots, potatoes and other veg are gradually broken down. By watching the process, Peppa and George get a clear picture of how the worms help transform waste into something that can enrich the soil. By the end of the visit, the children have observed first‑hand how nature recycles kitchen scraps, turning what would otherwise be rubbish into a natural growth aid. Their curiosity is satisfied, and they leave with a better understanding of the tiny helpers that keep the garden thriving.
