Backyard composting is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and divert waste from the landfill. Plus, composting allows you to create a nutrient rich soil amendment that can be used in gardens and flower beds.

Compost improves soil health, protects the climate and almost anyone can do it! When mixed with soil, compost increases microbial activity, suppresses plan diseases, increases water retention and supplies essential nutrients for plants. Additionally, when food scraps get buried in a landfill, they contribute to landfill methane emissions, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Composting is an easy way to recycle your food scraps and yard waste. I’m excited to provide additional compost resources for the community, including easy to assemble compost bins!
