Composting is a great way to keep organic material out of landfills. It is a good environmental practice and an inexpensive way of adding nutrients back into the soil. Applying compost to soil improves its texture, structure, aeration ability and water holding capacity. Trees, flowers or vegetables will grow healthier with less chemicals or fertilizers.

Compost is.. A dark, crumbly soil amendment. A waste reduction strategy for yard and food waste. Nature’s way of recycling. Natural mulch. Nutrient rich. A simple way to prevent methane gas production.
