The Wonderful World of Compost
Compost is important for us and the environment. Compost is an organic soil conditioner and fertilizer made from natural and Organic materials which are broken down by microorganisms to create a very fertile soil additive. Compost can be made by building a pile of leaves and adding organic material like kitchen scraps, grass clippings, fallen leaves, etc. Anything organic - even the waste of vegetarian animals - can be used for compost. When these materials are combined, watered and kept in a dry area, microorganisms in the manure or soil digest the plant material. This process breaks down the materials into humus. Humus (soil) is created by the partial decay of plant and animal material.
