COMPOSTING
Backyard composting is an attractive, simple method of managing organic waste at home. It adapts to fit individual lifestyles, incomes, yard sizes, and ambitions. Backyard composting can be performed by a variety of methods. The compost produced is an excellent soil conditioner. It enhances the structure of soil by binding soil particles together. This improves aeration and helps soil retain water and nutrients. Compost also improves drainage in clay soils and water retention in sandy soils. Compost improves the buffering capacity of the soil and minimizes adverse effects to plants due to extreme shifts in soil pH.
WORM COMPOSTING
Worm composting is a simple, natural method for converting fruit and vegetable scraps from your yard and kitchen into rich nutrients. All you need is a container filled with moistened bedding, worms and food scraps. The worms, with help from micro-organisms, convert the bedding and food waste into compost within a few weeks. Worm composting is so simple that it can be done virtually anywhere: schools, offices, kitchens, or homes.
