Compost needs to be an essential element in your garden

It isn’t just about turning food scraps into soil. It’s about encouraging the earth to support life. If you’re concerned about the environment, composting is a great way to start feeling better about yourself and the planet. Why is composting good for the environment? By adding compost to your garden, you’re helping to make sure that plants have exactly what they need to grow and thrive—and making sure that those plants are absorbing carbon from the atmosphere instead of releasing it into the air as CO2. Also, backyard composting helps keep toxins out of landfills, where they can leach into groundwater or spread through rainwater runoff onto nearby fields.
