Why Composting is Essential for a Healthy Garden

Composting is a natural way to recycle organic materials and enrich your soil. Here’s why it’s essential for every gardener:

Benefits of Composting

• Improves soil fertility by adding essential nutrients.
• Reduces waste by recycling food scraps and garden clippings.
• Encourages beneficial microorganisms that promote plant health.
• Helps retain soil moisture, reducing the need for watering.

How to Start Composting

1. Choose a compost bin or designated area in your yard.
2. Add a mix of green (fruit peels, vegetable scraps) and brown (dry leaves, paper) materials.
3. Turn the compost regularly to speed up decomposition.
4. After a few months, you’ll have nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

By composting, you’ll create a sustainable cycle that benefits both your garden and the environment.
