Tip of the Day: The Compost Guide
Compost is the remnants of organic matter that has decomposed. When compost is added to plants, it can help them grow stronger by providing the nutritional support they need, that is often lacking. Interest in composting is growing fast, as part of the growing interest in recycling. It is estimated that one-third of waste in landfills is food waste, waste that could be composted.
Composting converts your yard and food waste into wonderful stuff for your garden, all while keeping it out of the landfills. Compost materials are generally thought of as "brown," such as leaves, and "green" such as the food waste that comes out of your kitchen.
The final composted product can be added to the soil of your flower gardens and vegetable gardens, shrubs and lawn. It can even be added to your indoor houseplants to keep them healthy and happy with all of that good nourishment.
