If compost is used instead of agrochemicals, the soil is enriched with life instead of polluted. Compost suppresses many soil and plant diseases by nourishing the microbial communities that protect against pathogens. SPNI is coordinating a city-wide 'Sustainable Jerusalem' program, of which composting is an important part. Anyone can compost anywhere, with the help of the Compost Project resources. See our model compost and earthworm bins and compost demonstrations.
Bins are available at a discount after our hour and a half compost workshop.
Come on Mondays and help us develop Ecology Action displays and resources. Add the benefit of landfill diversion to the value of compost for improved soil quality, while saving money - and the reasons to compost are compelling. Composting a key way to protect our environment and our land. By composting we restore the soil food web that sustains us. Not only can composting reduce garbage, it returns rich nutrients and beneficial organisms to the soil.
