Don’t stress about making compost, it’s not hard! Whether you’re looking to enrich your garden soil or simply reduce the amount of food waste you throw into the trash every week, there are plenty of great reasons to begin composting at home this season. While store-bought, bagged compost contains many of the essential nutrients that plants need, homemade compost can be even more nutrient-dense, and because you made it yourself, you know exactly what went into it and can relax in the knowledge that you’ve made a quality product.
