Why Compost Matters

Before delving into the types of compost bins, it’s important to understand why composting is so beneficial:

• Environmental Impact: Composting reduces the amount of organic waste sent to landfills, cutting down on harmful methane emissions.
• Nutrient-Rich Soil: Compost enriches your garden soil with essential nutrients, improving plant growth and resilience.
• Cost-Effective: By creating your compost, you save money on commercial fertilizers and soil conditioners.

• Sustainable Gardening: Composting promotes a natural cycle of growth and decay, helping you create an eco-friendly garden.

2. Aerate Regularly: Turn your compost regularly to promote airflow and speed up decomposition.
3. Monitor Moisture Levels: Keep your compost moist but not waterlogged—think of a wrung-out sponge.
