Compost is important. Imagine if all those scraps of fruit and vegetables didn’t have to go into your plastic-lined garbage bag, into the dumpster, into a landfill. Imagine if your kitchen scraps of organic waste didn’t have to sit in those plastic bags, never able to decompose and return to the soil!
Composting is what is supposed to happen to our organic waste. It is a natural process with a pretty awesome result.
Not only does the structure of the soil improve, but composting also provides resistance against drought. The soil can better retain moisture because of the change in soil texture. It also helps to control erosion, prevent the growth of weeds, and stabilize the pH balance of the soil. All of which are vital for growing healthy crops!
