Economy, efficiency, recyclability, resourcefulness, sanitation and sustainability are reasons why compost is used in a garden.

Specifically, compost gives the gardener dark, fresh, nutrient-rich organic matter that functions as amendment, fertilizer and mulch. It is formed by the natural breakdown of carbon- and nitrogen-rich materials. It therefore saves the cost, time, and wear-and-tear of buying amendments, fertilizers and mulches. It serves to discourage pathogens and pests through the removal of non-diseased, non-toxic, recyclable garden debris and ground litter. It uses local resources to promote plant, soil and soil food web well-being.
