By definition, compost is decayed organic material that is often used to improve soil in a garden by working as a fertilizer. As we continue our efforts to go green and be environmentally conscious, many people have even begun to practice the process of composting right in their own backyard. Especially for those who enjoy gardening, composting proves to be an efficient way to deliver nutrients that promote plant growth and can help restore life in depleted soil. The best part is, this process is free, easy and good for the environment! See below for a list of some materials that are rich in carbon or nitrogen and should be used when you compost:
