When we compost we are actively “Caring for our Common Home.”

The mixture created by the simple act of composting:

• Improves the structure and health of soil, adding organic matter.
• Helps the soil retain moisture and nutrients.
• Attracts beneficial organisms to the soil, reducing the need for pesticides/fertilizers.
• Reduces the potential for soil erosion
