The Ultimate Guide to Making Organic Compost

Don’t have any idea what organic composting is all about? Then here’s what you should know about it.

One of the essential ingredients in gardening is organic compost. It is basically made of different components such as coffee grounds, dead leaves, newspapers and vegetable scraps.

With the right mix of greens (moist, nitrogen-rich matter) and browns (dry, carbon-rich matter), these components will naturally break down and eventually turn into good compost. You can then work the resulting compost into your soil to produce stronger, healthier plants.

Here are some of the amazing benefits of organic composting:

(1) It improves soil structure by making it more suitable for plant growth and development;

(2) It protects your garden plants from unwanted pests and various forms of diseases that your plants may acquire;

(3) It reduces water use by soaking up water and slowly releasing it to the plants.
