Adding compost to your gardens soil is a great way to replenish nutrients back into the soil your crops need to thrive. Not all the nutrients come directly from the compost. When adding this organic matter to your garden, you are also adding the fuel needed for all the beneficial microorganisums that live in the soil to do there job of continuing the process of decomposing this matter into beneficial nutrients and purifying the environment at the same time.
Adding this organic matter to your gardens soil is not only improving your gardens soil structure, it is fueling what is known as the soil food web. This soil food web is greatly beneficial in helping to create a clean environment. Having healthy plants in your garden will help clean the air we breath. These toxins in the soil get taken in through the plants and get filtered out. In the soil there is even a larger operation being preformed by a beneficial diverse community of microorganisms that live in the soil.
