Let\u2019s take a look at the benefits of composting as well as how to use our compost accelerator<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why Compost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are many reasons to consider composting. First and foremost, compost can be used as mulch and added to your vegetable garden, flower beds, houseplant pots, around trees and you can even brew a \u201ccompost tea\u201d and use it to water your garden soil and plants.<\/p>\n

Compost improves the health of your soil and improves water retention, so you can reduce your water use simply by adding compost. Compost balances the pH of your soil and increases the nutrient levels of soil, adding crucial nutrients such as potassium and nitrogen.<\/p>\n

Additionally, when you compost, all of the leaves, grass and kitchen scraps don\u2019t end up in the landfill. It\u2019s true that these items eventually will decompose at the landfill, but it takes far longer for organic materials to decompose in a landfill. In order for organic matter to decompose, you have to create an aerobic environment, but landfills are anaerobic, which means that there is not enough oxygen to stimulate the decomposition process.<\/p>\n

Great Items For Your Compost Pile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is just a shortlist of the many items that you can add to your compost pile.<\/p>\n
