Composting

We are getting our hands dirty in Culinary Corner for a good cause -- compost! Compost is decayed organic matter that is used as plant fertilizer. Composting is the key to healthy soil! And healthy soil helps grow healthy food.

Here are four reasons to compost:

1. Composting reduces waste, makes us less dependent on landfills, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
2. Compost strengthens soil and promotes healthy plant growth.
3. Composting reduces the need for pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.
4. Composting recycles essential nutrients back into the soil.

Getting started isn't as hard as you may think. Meet Karen in Culinary Corner and learn how to make your own compost in a 2 liter bottle!
