Food Composting
Composting is a great natural way to get nutrients and carbon back into your garden! As a bonus, composting can reduce food waste, which in turn reduces those dangerous greenhouse gases that contribute to warming our climate. You can compost almost anywhere with a little planning and creativity. The resources below will help you decide whether you want to compost at home, at your school, or try to implement some larger city-wide composting. Once your compost is done, you can spread it on any garden or growing space you want to to add nutrients to your soil, provide mulch cover for topsoil, increase soil drainage, and encourage beneficial insects and microbes to live there.
