Yard Waste Composting:
What is Composting?
Composting is the natural breakdown of organics
material to a dark, loose soil-like substance that will substantially enrich any
garden. Decomposition occurs with the assistance of invertebrates like
earthworks and microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Composting is a
form of recycling that occurs continually in nature. It can significantly
reduce the amount of household waste we throw away and at the same time provide
a nutrient-rich additive for soils.

and maintaining a backyard compost pile with leaves, grass and other organic
