Composting Makes Sense
Instead of sending useful organic matter to a landfill (which in many states has been outlawed), it can be transformed into a useful additive for the soil.
Composting Is Easy
Compost can be used for a variety of gardening projects. It can enrich gardens, improve the soil around trees and shrubs, and be used as a soil additive for house plants and planter boxes. Compost can do the following:
- Decrease erosion
- Enhance soil texture
- Increase the ability of the soil to absorb air and water
- Reduce the need to apply chemical fertilizers
- Suppress weed growth
Business Uses for Compost

- Landscapers also use compost to cover landfills and carry out reclamation projects.
- Landscapers use compost as a soil amendment and for decorative purposes on private properties, golf courses, and athletic fields.
- Nurseries use compost for enhancing plant and forest seedling crops in reforestation projects.
- Public agencies use compost for landscaping highway median strips, parks, recreational areas, and other public property.
