Composting has numerous benefits, including reducing waste sent to landfills, enriching soil with nutrients, improving soil structure, promoting healthy plant growth, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers, and helping to conserve water in the soil. Composting also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting organic materials from landfills where they would produce methane gas as they decompose. Overall, composting is an environmentally friendly practice that can have positive effects on both the environment and gardens or crops.
