Compost is the end product of a complex feeding pattern
involving hundreds of different organisms, including
bacteria, fungi, worms, and insects. What remains after
these organisms break down organic materials is the rich,
earthy substance your produce will love.
Composting replicates nature's natural system of breaking
down organic materials on the ground. In every forest,
grassland, jungle, and garden, plants die, fall to the ground,
and decay. They are slowly broken down by the small
organisms living in the soil. Eventually these plant parts
disappear into the brown crumbly material. This humus keeps soil light and fluffy.
As such, compost is an excellent soil amendment which improves the soil aggregate as well
as nutritious value of the soil.
