Frequently asked gardening related questions
Compost is decomposed organic matter, a nutrient-rich soil amendment. It's fundamental to organic gardening because it improves soil structure (drainage in clay, water retention in sand), adds essential nutrients slowly over time, feeds beneficial soil microorganisms, and helps balance soil pH. It recycles garden and kitchen waste, closing the nutrient loop and reducing reliance on external inputs.
