Why Does Compost Make Soil Healthier?
Compost returns organic matter to the soil in a usable form. Organic matter in the soil improves plant growth by: loosening heavy clay soils to allow better root penetration; improving the capacity to hold water and nutrients in sandy soils; and adding essential nutrients to any soil. Improving your soil is the first step toward improving the health of your plants. Healthy plants help clean our air, conserve our soil and beautify our landscapes.
