What Is Composting?

Composting is the natural process of recycling organic waste into nutrient-rich soil fertilizer. A balanced mix of brown carbon materials and green nitrogen materials creates healthy compost.

Why Compost Balance Matters

A proper compost ratio improves decomposition speed, reduces odor, supports microbial activity, and produces healthier compost for gardening and agriculture.
