Composting turns yard waste into a valuable resource. Good compost is expensive to buy, but free for the making. Composting saves landfill space. Composting adds essential nutrients to soil. Mixing compost into gardens, planter boxes, house plants and around trees and shrubs helps your plants grow healthier and faster.
Compost helps break heavy clay soils into a more usable texture and improves drainage.
Unless properly managed will attract animals. Select a composting bin. Composting can occur simply by dumping yard waste into a pile and allowing it to decompose. However, some people may choose to be more organized. If this is the case, construct or purchase a compost bin.
