Product Overview
Garden compost is a nutrient-rich, organic material resulting from the decomposition of plant matter, food scraps, and other biodegradable materials. Incorporating compost into your garden soil enhances its structure, fertility, and moisture retention, promoting robust plant growth.
Benefits of Garden Compost:
- Improved Soil Structure: Compost adds organic matter, enhancing soil aeration and drainage.
- Nutrient Enrichment: Provides essential nutrients, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.
- Moisture Retention: Helps soil retain moisture, reducing watering frequency.
- Disease Suppression: Introduces beneficial microorganisms that combat plant diseases.
- Environmental Impact: Recycles organic waste, decreasing landfill contributions and greenhouse gas emissions.
How to Use Compost in Your Garden:
- Soil Amendment: Mix compost into the top 4 to 6 inches of garden soil before planting to boost fertility.
- Mulching: Apply a 2 to 4-inch layer of compost around plants to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Top Dressing: Spread compost over lawns or garden beds to provide nutrients and improve soil health.
- Compost Tea: Steep compost in water to create a nutrient-rich solution for watering plants.
