Composting is the recycling of organic wastes into a material that can be mixed into your soils to improve plant growth. Adding compost into the soil will allow better air and water movement, which relates to stronger and healthy growth, looser workable soils, and makes the ground easier to dig. Basically, good composting is setting up an environment that promotes the decomposition of materials by the natural soil bacteria. This is done by having a balance of water, air, and soil, periodically mixed, so that the bacteria can break down the wastes whereby the plant roots can benefit. It is easy to make compost, and starts by understanding the composting process. This easy to read book tells you the basics to get started, and more.
