Do you compost? Composting is not only good for the environment, it helps you save money on your trash bills and will help you grow a bountiful garden or beautiful lawn! Composting is an easy way to add nutrients to soil. All you need is a composter and food scraps, banana peels, product, stems, everything you’d usually just throw out.
Check out these interesting facts from Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences:
- The average US. Household generates 650 lbs. of compostable materials each year.
- Over 60 percent of what we put in our landfills is organic waste, such as food scraps. Yard trimmings, and paper, much of which could be recycled by composting.
- Composting saves money. Families reduce their garbage collection bills and municipalities save money on transporting and disposing of waste when organic materials are eliminated from the collection system.
- Compost improves soil, adds important nutrients for plants, and reduces the need for expensive commercial fertilizers.
