What is "compost"?
Compost is a mixture of organic materials, such as food scraps, leaves, and yard waste, that has broken down into a dark, crumbly substance through natural processes. It is used to improve soil by adding nutrients and increasing its ability to retain moisture. Compost can be made at home by combining materials like vegetable peels, grass clippings, and small branches in a pile or bin, where they decompose over time. It helps plants grow better and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, and it is also an eco-friendly way to recycle waste.
