Anyone can compost. Composting is no longer an option just for homeowners. This end-product is an excellent soil conditioner for plants, gardens and lawns. Composting provides a free, top-notch soil conditioner that improves plant, garden and lawn growth. Compost acts like a sponge, helping soil retain moisture and nutrients.
Compost helps break down heavy clay soils or helps to bind sandy soils.
Soils rich in compost experience less erosion and reduced quick runoff. By returning nutrients back into the soil, compost reduces the need for expensive chemical fertilizers. Composting household materials will save landfill space. You don't need any technical knowledge or equipment. Items containing carbon are generally brown in colour, such as autumn leaves or straw.
