Why Compost?
• Composting
saves you money by lowering garbage bills and replacing
the need for commercial soil amendments and fertilizers.
• Composting
benefits your garden and container plants by improving
the fertility and health of your soil. Plants grown in
healthy soil are more resistant to pests and diseases.
As a mulch, compost suppresses weeds and reduces the need
for pest controls and sprays.
• Composting
saves water by helping the soil hold moisture, reducing
evaporation and water runoff. Using compost as mulch will
also benefit plants by keeping roots cooler.
• Composting
helps the environment by recycling valuable organic resources
and extending the lifetime of our landfills.
