What is Compost?
Compost is one of nature’s best mulches and soil amendments, and you can use it instead of commercial fertilizer. Using compost improves soil structure, texture and aeration and increases the soil’s water-holding capacity. Compost loosens clay soil and helps sandy soil retain water. Adding compost improves soil fertility and stimulates healthy root development in plants.
