Why compost? Composting is inexpensive and an easy way to use kitchen waste to create natural fertiliser for your garden.
Composting is allowing natural processes of decomposition and decay to break down waste from food scraps to cardboard. This process is good for the environment, it feeds beneficial microorganisms and encourages a healthy, natural soil structure. |
Many of modern and commercial forms of growing fertilisers are actually derived from fossil fuels such as oil. These synthetic fertilisers produce growing plants with the three main nutrients they need; potash, nitrogen and phosphorous.
The problem with these fertiliser is they do not feed the soil ecology with the moisture retentive qualities and organic matter which natural composting does. The use of synthetic fertilisers eventually kills beneficial soil ecology and leads to nutrient depletion, erosion and desertification. |
Composting whether using a simple heap or compost bins allows you to reverse this process. One of the most exciting things about making compost is you are encouraging natures recycling systems to flourish and rebuild natural ecosystems from the soil upwards.
Healthy soil means a healthy environment, the combination of millions of fungi, invertebrates and bacteria work to break down organic waste. Composting gives local ecosystems everything they need to create a vibrant, healthy, thriving environment. |
