Compost Information
Turn your kitchen scraps and greenwaste into beautiful, rich soil and mulch.
Composting recaptures soil nutrients otherwise sent to landfill or burned and creates fertile compost and mulch that can be used in your garden or potted plants as a natural soil amendment. It will reduce or eliminate the need to purchase commercial fertilizers and best of all: it's cheap! Composting is one of the simplest ways to reduce your waste stream and make your lifestyle more sustainable.
Don't know how to make compost? Don't worry, with a little research (see reference materials below) and a little practice, you'll be a pro in no time.
What about vermiculture? Vermiculture is much like composting, except it uses a colony of worms to breakdown food waste. While it requires a little more attention than traditional composting, it produces a much more fertile product known as worm castings in much less time. For more about vermiculture, the Worm Woman is an indispensable resource. Need some worms to get started? Just stop by ECOSLO and ask for some free worms!
