Why make compost?
Composting is the most practical and convenient way to handle your yard waste. It can be easier and cheaper than bagging waste or taking it to the transfer station. Compost also improves your soil and is beneficial to the plants growing in it. If you have a garden, a lawn, trees, shrubs or even plant boxes, you have a use for compost.

By using compost you return organic matter to the soil in a usable form. Organic matter in the soil improves plant growth by helping break heavy clay soils into a better texture, adding water and nutrient-holding capacity to sandy soils and adding essential nutrients to any soil type. Improving your soil is the first step towards improving the health of your plants. Healthy plants clean our air and improve our soil.
