What is Composting
Composting is the process of creating a nutrient rich soil from organic materials. By composting you are facilitating the natural decomposition process and reducing unnecessary waste. The resulting soil is so beneficial for gardening that it has a fitting nickname of “Black Gold”. In addition to dirt compost, commercial systems can also generate biofuel, which can be used to replace fossil fuels. Composting and Recycling are key components in maintaining a circular economy. They can help regenerate resources by re-using waste to become useful again.
