The art of composting


What is composting and why is it important? I actually have never really understood this concept so thank you for the interest so I could learn more about it.

Composting is a way of recycling that if done right, can give a healthy addition to your garden. If you have ever been in a gardening section of a store I am sure you have seen plenty of fertilizers and other chemicals to supposedly make your garden better. It makes me wonder if it really is that safe or healthy to be used in the gardens you will be planting your very own veggies?? According to my internet researching, composting could very well be the healthier option!

A composting center can be made out of a wood box or simply a heavy duty plastic bin. Somethings that can be included in compost are: leaves, egg shells, orange rinds, glass clippings, paper towels, paper bags, cotton clothing (torn), dried flowers, sawdust, plus more. Just think how much less you will be putting in your garbage can and reusing to better your garden!
