Discover the many benefits of home composting for your garden and the environment
Make a positive impact on the planet
Organic waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting diverts this waste and creates valuable soil amendment instead.
By composting at home, you reduce transportation emissions associated with waste collection and processing. Every action counts toward climate protection.
Composting creates nutrient-rich soil amendment locally, reducing the need for manufactured fertilizers and peat moss extraction.
Improve your soil and plant health naturally
Compost improves soil texture, making it easier for roots to penetrate. It helps sandy soils retain moisture and clay soils drain better.
Compost provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in a slow-release form that plants can readily absorb.
Healthy compost introduces beneficial microorganisms that help plants resist diseases and improve nutrient uptake from the soil.
Advantages for you and your household
Reduce spending on commercial fertilizers and soil amendments. Create valuable garden inputs from materials you'd otherwise discard.
Lower your household waste output significantly. Many families reduce their trash by 30-50% through composting.
Composting teaches valuable lessons about natural cycles and sustainability. Great for involving children in environmental stewardship.
Sustainable practices for future generations
Regular compost application builds soil organic matter over time, creating a resilient foundation for long-term garden productivity.
Composting closes the loop on organic waste, creating a circular system where waste becomes a resource for new growth.
When more people compost, communities reduce waste management costs and create local sources of valuable soil amendments.
