Composting is an important part of outdoor cultivation because it adds essential nutrients and organic matter to the soil. This helps create healthy soil structure, which in turn supports plant growth. Compost also increases water retention, improves drainage, and helps reduce erosion. It can also help reduce the need for chemical fertilizers by providing natural sources of nitrogen, potassium, and other key elements that plants need to grow. In addition to these benefits, compost has been shown to suppress disease-causing organisms such as nematodes and pathogens like fungi. Adding compost to your outdoor soil can improve its overall quality over time by increasing its capacity for holding nutrients and improving its texture.
