What is compost & how do I create it?
You can create compost from anything that was once living. Naturally occurring compost can take years depending on the materials but as gardeners, we can accelerate this process via home hot composting techniques.
Why Compost?
Creating your own organic matter in the form of compost can be easily achieved once you know how, and it means that you are recycling large percentages of your own garden and kitchen waste. This is essentially what we call “closing the loop”. Food and green waste from your home and garden is being composted onsite and then added to the soil to grow more plants that will potentially produce more ingredients to create more compost.
All of this reduces the amounts of waste from your property that ends up in landfill.
Adding organic matter to your soil, improves the soil health in the short and the long term. It increases the number of good soil microbes and beneficial fungi, all which equate to better plant growth and health. It will also help your soil to hold moisture, minerals, and increase the capacity of plants to take up these nutrients and water.
