And experienced gardeners know that compost added to a garden makes flowers fuller and vegetables bigger. Compost is a substance resulting from the decomposition of organic matter such as leaves, shredded wood, old roots, grass clippings, fruit peels, coffee grinds and other materials that are vegetable in origin.
Gardens thrive with the help of a compost pile.
Compost supplies plants with food and improves soil structure. It also helps retain rainfall and plant food. Building a compost pile is not an exact process. It can be started any time of the year, but fall is usually the best time. There are various ways to make a compost bin, and the cost is minimal.
