Why Should I Compost?
Making Compost is free.
Reduction of landfill material.
Composting reduces yard waste volume by 50 to 75 percent
Creation of potting soils that is rich in compost produce vigorous plants (herbs, vegetables, flowers).
Compost holds moisture "like a sponge" and releases fertilizer nutrients slowly
Improvement in garden soil structure, texture and aeration.
Improve soil fertility and stimulates healthy root development in plants by mixing compost to existing soil. The organic matter provided in compost provides food for microorganisms, which keeps the soil in a healthy, balanced condition.
Compost helps loosens clay soils and helps sandy soils retain water.
Compost replaces the need for fertilizer. Compost contains nutrients that plants need for optimum growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. And it`s an especially good supplier of micronutrients that are needed in small quantities such as boron, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.

Compost made from garden or food waste helps suppress all manner of wilts, rots and turf disease making for a healthier plant/ garden.
Feels good – you know that you are doing something to help the environment in the long term for future generations.
It is very simple. Microbes are hard at work chomping down your throwaways. You supply the organic materials, water, and oxygen. The bacteria that are already there decompose the plant material into compost. As the bacteria break down the compost materials heat is released. The heat is concentrated in the center of the compost material. By using the innovative 3600 rotation movement and the oxygen induction through the interior tubes the ECOmpostertm actually helps to make this process more efficient while also speeding up the process time by evenly distributing the heat and moisture.
