Why Compost?
Composting benefits the environment in so many ways including waste reduction, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and soil enrichment. In addition, composting conserves water because it retains moisture in the soil, reducing the need for frequent watering and healthy soil with compost helps prevent soil erosion.
