The use of compost in your gardens soil makes an excellent soil conditioner. It improves the soil structure, adds nutrients for your plants to thrive and adds the fuel needed for the soil food web to survive. The soil food web is a very important part in helping to keep our environment clean and healthy. It is what creates the environment for the microorganisms in the soil to create the nutrients that are needed for plants to grow strong and healthy while removing toxins that can harm the environment.
Compost is an alternative to commercially sold products like peat moss. Peat is a product of nature and is extracted from our wetlands. In our wetlands is where beneficial wildlife, insects and the same microorganisms that live in a compost pile call home. They are what helps to keep nature in balance naturally. The destruction of these resources is just another method of harming the environment and not letting it do it's job of making this planet as clean and healthy place to live.
