This week is International Compost Awareness Week.
It is a week of activities and events to improve awareness of the importance of compost as a valuable organic resource.
Composting reduces carbon and methane pollution while regenerating the soil, benefitting water sources,
and fostering food security into the future.
The organic materials that can be composted include yard trimmings, leaves, mulch, grass clippings,
some paper products, and food scraps such as raw and cooked fruits,
vegetables and grains, eggshells, coffee grounds, and in worm farms, even meat and dairy products.
The most important thing you can do to care for the soil is to add this amazing resource that is often wasted in landfills.
Better soils, better life, better future.
