What is Kitchen Compost?
Kitchen compost is an earthy material, made with scraps of food, that is used to nurture and improve soil. The goals of making kitchen compost include recycling, improving natural and cost-effective gardening practices, and improving the environment by reducing the amount of methane gas released into the air from food rotting in landfills. Approximately one-third of the space in landfills is used to store yard and kitchen waste, which can instead be used to create soil-enriching compost.
