Composting provides you with rich organic matter that does wonders to improve the quality of your garden soil. Whether you sprinkle compost on the surface of the soil or work it in, your garden plants and landscape will grow healthier and stronger thanks to the addition. Your garden benefits from compost in the following ways:
Incorporates organic matter to feed microorganisms and macroorganisms that maintain a healthy soil food web
Enriches soil with nutrients for plant growth
Releases nutrients slowly so they don’t leach away as some synthetic fertilizers do
Improves soil structure
Promotes drainage and aeration in clay soil
Enhances moisture and nutrient retention in sandy soil
Reduces soil compaction
Inhibits erosion
Suppresses soil-borne diseases and pests
Attracts earthworms, nature’s best soil builders
