Benefits
You can reduce the amount of waste that goes in a landfill by 30% by composting yard waste and food scraps.
Composting is the biological decomposition of organic matter such as leaves, food scraps and twigs. The end result is a dark, crumbly matter that can enrich your lawn or garden. When mixed with soil, compost improves the physical properties of the soil, reduces erosion and supports plant life.
Always cover your compost pile with leaves. Add red wiggler worms to speed up the process.
