Why should you compost? When you compost, you will do two things; Put less trash into your trash can, and greatly improve your garden & yard. Imagine, building a healthier, more vibrant yard and garden, and taking out the garbage less!
Examine the material that goes into the average trash can. A lot of it is actually very healthy for the environment. In the right form, that garbage would actually improve your garden. By adding to a Compost pile or mix, banana peels, coffee grinds, rotten apples, left over celery and mashed potatoes, week old bread, even the half-dead houseplant you are throwing out, all of this material could improve your garden and yard. But you can not just take that rotten pineapple out of the refrigerator and throw it in the backyard.
Now look at the material most people take out of their yards. Dead leaves, grass clippings and twigs are actually quite healthy for the yard. This organic material has a great store of nutrients. But a lot of people do not want to leave a big pile of dead grass on the lawn.
When you compost, you are taking things that most often are placed in the trash, and turning them into a valuable asset. Instead of paying someone to hall off trash, you are turning that “trash” into an asset.
Now think about going to the Garden Center and buying expensive mixes and fertilizers. A lot of the nutrients you are buying for your yard and garden are the same nutrients, in a slightly different form, which you threw into the trash earlier that day!
Instead of buying expensive mixes and fertilizers at the garden center, place your kitchen scraps and yard trimmings into your Composter. After a few months (depending on the weather and the ingredients placed in the Sak), you will have fresh compost. Spread the compost around the garden! Your garden will soon have the healthiest, best soil in town. Or spread the compost around the yard. Spread it in depleted areas that do not have a good layer of topsoil. Soon you will build up these areas into healthy, great looking, natural yard.
The value of your house is greater when the yard and garden look great! And it all starts with taking out the trash less, and haling off less clippings and leaves. Let the your composter help you build a better garden and yard!
