Compost is classified as 100% organic fertilizer.
Compost improves soil absorbency, drainage, exposure to air, increases the
holding capacity of moisture, and reduces amount of compacted material needed
to develop healthy root zones.
DID YOU KNOW?
Compost can retain up to ten times it’s weight in water!
Compost also is important because it aids as a buffer. Buffer
meaning something that resists change! In this case compost is a buffer against
extreme chemical imbalances. By being able to control pH levels in the soils it
allows for the control of releasing soil minerals and nutrients over a specific
time thus tolerating certain drought conditions.
DID YOU KNOW?
Compost-enriched soil can also reduce erosion, alleviate soil compaction, and help control disease and pest infestation in plants.
What types of
waste that we produce are considered organic waste?
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. Composting is the
biological decay of organic waste such as food, waste, manure, leaves, grass
trimmings, animal manure and carcasses, sewage sludge, paper, wood, feathers,
crop residue, etc. can later be valuable organic fertilizer for compost.
