• Composting your yard trimmings and food scraps is easy, adds nutrients to your yard and garden, kind to our environment and good for you, too!
• Save money, save water, and conserve natural resources.
• If done correctly, a compost pile can produce finished compost within three months which can be used as a soil booster.
• Composting food scraps and yard trimmings at home is an excellent way to help reduce the generation of harmful greenhouse gases.
