Hello Kole

Compost, in itself, is basic, it's natures way for replenishing, the so called Life Cycle. If left to it's own, without us Composting, it would work slower, and give more Nutrients.

Finished Compost, adds things that we take away from the Soil, and takes it back to the way Nature Intended. By Recycling Yard Wastes, instead of throwing them away, you are doing, what Nature did, before we came. Citys now pick up your Yard Waste, haul it off to a Composting Center, and Compost it for you. This, although well meaning, is wasted energy. If everyone Composted their own Yard Wastes, that would take a heck of a lot of Trucks off the Road, Hauling it all away.

If you wish to Compost, and don't have a Garden yourself, I am POSITIVE someone in the Neighborhood, where you live, would be happy to take it.


The Best of Luck
