Access to humus, presence of beneficial micro-organisms, and removal of debris are ways in which compost piles benefit gardens. When proper procedure is followed, compost piles include such carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclable materials as food scraps and yard litter whose natural breakdown -- with the help of decomposer bacteria and fungi -- into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter takes place in a year or less. The heap will furnish gardeners with humus for use as soil amendments, fertilizers, and mulches.

How are landfills and compost piles the same?

Landfills and compost piles are both places where organic waste decomposes.

How can you benefit from compost?

Economic savings from lower gardening and trash bills, environmental activism by not filling landfills with kitchen scraps and yard debris, and physical exercise are ways that people personally benefit from compost. Composting kitchen scraps and yard debris leads to healthier household budgets undiminished by high fertilizer purchases and garbage pick-up services. It offers a chance to do something about the globally warmed climate change effects of landfill-released greenhouse gases and to engage in daily walks to and from backyard, neighborhood or public compost containers, gardens, heaps, piles and nets.
