Compost/ Vermicompost
Composting is
nature's way of recycling. It is a satisfying way to turn fruit, vegetable and
yard trimmings into a dark, crumbly, sweet smelling soil conditioner. Composting
is easy, it's smart, it's recycling.
Composting:
• Saves you money by lowering garbage bills and replacing store-bought soil
conditioners.
• Helps garden and house plants by improving the fertility and health of
your soil.
• Saves water by helping the soil hold moisture and reducing water runoff.
• Benefits the environment by recycling valuable organic resources and extending
the life of our landfills.
