Composting is an eco-friendly and cost-effective natural process that transforms everyday kitchen and garden waste into "black gold"—a nutrient-rich, organic material that significantly enhances soil health and fertility. By recycling biodegradable waste such as fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, grass clippings, dry leaves, and other organic matter, composting diverts substantial amounts of waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions and contributing to a cleaner environment.
This decomposition process is powered by microorganisms, fungi, and beneficial bacteria that break down the organic materials over time, resulting in a dark, crumbly, and earthy-smelling compost. When added to soil, compost improves its structure, moisture retention, and nutrient content, making it an ideal, sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers. Whether practiced on a small scale in backyards or through large-scale community and municipal programs, composting supports a circular system where waste is returned to the earth in a way that benefits both plants and the planet. It’s a simple yet powerful way to reduce waste, enrich your garden, and take part in the global movement toward sustainability.
