What is Compost?

Decomposed Organic Material

Compost is made from materials such as uncooked kitchen scraps, leaves, grass clippings, twigs, and untreated paper/cardboard. Over time, these materials decompose to create compost.

Once ready, you can add your compost to your flower beds or containers.
Compost improves your soil by adding nutrients and will help your plants thrive. It will also reduce weeds by adding a barrier between the soil and the light from the sun.

Another significant benefit of adding compost to your soil is that it will help retain the moisture in your soil, resulting in less watering.
