Decomposition of organic matter creates compost. It is dark & crumbly, smells like earth and is food for plants. We have forgotten the importance of compost in our daily lives.

Composting is the natural decomposition of plant remains and other organic materials to create a dark, crumbly substance that enriches soil. This process recycles kitchen and garden waste, reducing the volume of garbage sent to landfills. In nature, composting occurs as leaves decay on the forest floor, returning nutrients to the soil and completing the cycle of recycling. By composting, we can help combat global warming. When organic waste decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting prevents this by providing an oxygen-rich environment for decomposition, reducing methane emissions.
