Benefits of composting
Food waste makes up roughly 10% of our household garbage. Rather than sending that to a landfill, we can make good use of it at home!
The soil benefits from the addition of compost. It gains needed nutrients - like nitrogen and potassium.
Using Compost
Use as a fertilizer in potted plants, flowerbeds and garden soil.
Use as a ground cover instead of bark dust, and prevent weed growth.
Use as a mulch on your lawn.
Soak compost in water and drain. Use the remaining "compost tea" (full of nutrients) to water your houseplants.

Compost With Worms!
Worm composting, called vermicomposting, uses red worms to break down fruit and vegetable wastes and creates a nutrient rich soil amendment called compost.
It takes a special kind of worm to break down vegetable wastes quickly. The Red Wiggler is the best worm for the job! They eat up to 1/2 their weight in food every day!
The castings that result from their feasting are rich in the micronutrients that plants love.
You can use worm compost as a soil amendment in your garden, landscaping projects, and even for houseplants.
Composting keeps valuable nutrients out of the landfill and puts them into your garden!
