If you have a garden, lawn trees ,shrubs, or even plant boxes , you can use this valuable compost to improve the soil and the plants. Second, by using compost you return organic matter to the soil in a useable form. Humus in the soil improves plant growth by helping breakdown heavy clay soils adding water and nutrient-holding capacity to sandy soil, and adding essential nutrient to any soil. Rich organic soil helps produce healthy plants.
Healthy plants help clean our air and conserve our soil.
Composting cuts down on your household garbage by recycling organic materials. In fact, if you're composting kitchen and yard waste in addition to recycling newspaper, bottles and cans,, you're cutting your waste almost in half. If all your neighbors did this too, it would dramatically reduce the amount of household garbage that's choking our landfill sites. If these aren't readily available you can rake up dry materials from under hedges, shrubs or the flower garden. Over this spread a couple of shovel fulls of earth from your garden.
