Compost adds valuable nutrients to the garden soil, making the plants that grow in it more robust, tastier (if edible), and more resistant to disease. The process of breaking down organic matter into compost (aerobic decomposition) creates millions upon millions of microorganisms that are introduced into the garden soil. These microorganisms make the soil more fertile, and the compost adds vital nutrients, like Nitrogen (N) and other base elements. It is also a good way to use kitchen scraps, as opposed to throwing them out.
