This program has been developed to aid the residents of Riverside County in composting their organic material, so that we can all recycle more and discard less. Composting can also improve hard, depleted soils, so that flowers, so that flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees can thrive in a nutrient-rich environment. Composting also improves the soil by boosting its fertility, its moisture-holding capabilities, and its texture. Composted material is actually rather expensive to buy. By composting, you return the earth's nutrients back to the soil, where your plants absorb them, thereby becoming healthier.
Healthy plants are far more resistant to diseases and pests.
