Organic material that you throw away could be put to good use by composting.
Compost provides plants with nutrients that protect them from diseases and pests.
Compost makes soil more fertile, helps it retain moisture, and improves drainage and air circulation.
To make compost, collect brown materials, like dead leaves, branches, and twigs…
And green materials, like grass clippings, fruit and vegetable waste, and coffee grounds.
Add them to your compost pile, moisten them with water, and regularly mix the compost until it has a dark, rich color.
Use your compost to feed your garden and keep it thriving year-round.
