Compost

Composting: Turning Waste into Wealth Composting is an eco-friendly process that converts organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. It involves decomposing materials like food scraps and yard waste by microorganisms. This natural recycling method reduces landfill waste and enriches soil, promoting healthy plant growth. To start composting, collect a mix of "greens" (nitrogen-rich items like vegetable scraps) and "browns" (carbon-rich items like dried leaves). Balance these components, add them to a compost bin or pile, and turn the mixture regularly for aeration. Keep the compost damp, like a wrung-out sponge, to ensure proper decomposition. Over time, the organic materials break down into humus, a dark, nutrient-rich substance. Finished compost improves soil structure, increases nutrient content, and enhances water retention. Composting reduces methane emissions from landfills and decreases the need for chemical fertilizers, promoting sustainability. By composting, you can turn waste into valuable soil, helping the environment and supporting healthier ecosystems.
