Composting is nature’s way of recycling organic materials, turning kitchen scraps, green waste, and other organic matter into nutrient-rich humus that enriches your soil. By composting you not only reduce waste sent to landfills but also create a valuable resource for feeding your plants. The rich organic matter in compost helps improve soil structure, retain moisture, and promote beneficial microbial activity, resulting in healthier plants with stronger root systems and increased resistance to pests and diseases.

FERTILIZING CAN PROVIDE A MORE TARGETED BOOST
Fertilizing your garden supplements the nutrients in the soil, ensuring that your plants have access to the essential elements they need for growth and development. While compost provides a slow-release source of nutrients, fertilizers can offer a more immediate boost, especially in soils that are deficient in specific nutrients.
It’s important to choose fertilizers wisely and apply them sparingly to avoid overloading the soil with synthetic chemicals. Organic fertilizers, such as compost tea, fish emulsion, and bone meal, provide nutrients in a form that is readily available to plants while also improving soil health over time.

Sending all the nutrients contained in your food scraps and green waste away means you need to add more back in to your garden, however if you start composting at home you can make suure all those nutrients return to your soil in the form of compost.
