home composting

Home composting is a natural process where organic waste like fruit peels, vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and yard waste decompose into nutrient-rich soil. By combining these materials and maintaining proper moisture, aeration, and proportion of greens (wet, nitrogen-rich materials) and browns (dry, carbon-rich materials), you create conditions for beneficial microorganisms to break down waste efficiently. The resulting compost can be used to enrich garden beds and plants, reducing clutter in trash and decreasing environmental impact. Home composting is an effective way to recycle organic waste sustainably within your own property, supporting healthier soil and reducing landfill contributions.
