Compost

Why compost? 

Create the best, free nutrition for your garden! Recycle! Good for the environment by not using chemical fertilizers. Reduce waste in our landfills. I like the fact, too, that the plant life goes back into the earth to nourish more plant life. Ahhh....life! It's a wonderful cycle.

What goes in? 

Egg shells, banana peels, apple cores (until I learned I can make my own apple cider vinegar with them!), onion paper, vegetable scraps, fruit peels, tea bags, coffee grounds & filter, hair, paper towels, yarn & fabric scraps, dryer lint, dead leaves, grass clippings, and more. Here is a great link with a long list of items you can compost and what those particular items added to your compost!

What comes out? 

What we get from our compost is rich, organic fertilizer full of nitrogen & other nutrients for the soil to raise healthier veggies, fruits, herbs, flowers, bushes, trees, and houseplants.
