Composting goes hand in hand with edible gardening. The benefits to both the garden and the environment far outweigh any effort that goes into the process. We can help you start and maintain your own compost, or you can leave the dirty work to us. We will work with you to find the best location for your compost, and help decide whether and open bin or an enclosed container is best suited for the location. And, if you don’t have a yard, worm composting is a great solution that is very effective in small spaces.
Compost is great for the garden because it improves the soil, which in turn supports healthier and more productive plants, yielding more produce. Compost provides virtually all of the essential nutrients for healthy plant growth. The all-natural quality of compost means there is often no need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers which, in the case of an edible garden, ultimately end up in your body.
Composting significantly reduces the amount of solid waste that ends up in your trash and in the landfill. Clearly, the more we compost, the less we contribute to the cost of trash removal and the volume of solid materials in landfills. Using compost to feed your garden will also reduce the need for chemical pesticides & fertilizers. So, you’ll save money and reduce the potential of chemical pollution to your little piece of the environment.
