Composting

Composting is an excellent way to improve soil health, reduce waste, and lower your environmental impact. By recycling organic materials like kitchen scraps and yard waste, you can create nutrient-rich soil that supports healthy plants.

How to Start Composting & Improve Soil Health:

• Start a compost pile or bin – Collect kitchen scraps, yard trimmings, and other organic waste in a composting system.
• Balance green and brown materials – For the best compost, balance nitrogen-rich greens (like fruit scraps and grass clippings) with carbon-rich browns (like leaves and straw).
• Turn the pile regularly – Aerating the compost pile ensures that it breaks down quickly and evenly.
• Add compost to your garden beds – Spread finished compost around plants to improve soil structure, retain moisture, and supply nutrients.
• Use organic matter – Incorporate organic materials like manure or leaf litter to enrich your soil naturally.
