Composting involves mixing yard and household organic waste
in a pile or bin and providing conditions that encourage decomposition. The
decomposition process is fueled by millions of microscopic organisms (bacteria,
fungi) that take up residence inside your compost pile, continuously devouring
and recycling it to produce a rich organic fertilizer and valuable soil
amendment (seeUsing Your Compost To Amend Soils). Sound complicated? It's really not. All you need to know about composting is a
basic understanding of a few simple principles, and a little bit of elbow
grease. |
