The cycling of organic matter back into nutrients to be used by new organisms is an essential part of every ecological system. Since ancient times humans have tweaked conditions just so to speed up this decomposition in a more controlled manner because of the value of the finished product - compost!

Why Compost?

Mess of discarded food wrappers, banana peels, and food scraps. 
From an under the sink worm bin to an outdoor compost pile, composting can be down in nearly any home if you have the time, patience, and willingness to create a space for the microbes and invertebrates to do their work!
