Plants Love Compost
If we here at cool garden things had to pick a “Coolest Garden Thing” our pyramid and spinning composters are definitely frontrunners. Composting is really cool. Composting is an excellent choice for the gardener with a green thumb and a green mind. The concept of composting is simple: place all organic waste (lawn clippings, kitchen food waste, leaves, etc.) in the composter and let Mother Nature do her work to create nutrient rich fertilizer you can use on your garden. The composter designs we offer on the cool garden things website allow for proper airflow to aid in the aerobic bacteria’s work, all you need to do is keep the pile moist for maximum yield (perhaps with a cool garden things rain barrel!)
Compost provides a whole host of services for your garden. According to the EPA compost helps your garden’s soil by aiding in the creation of beneficial micro-organisms which help break down compost waste to create nutrient rich all natural fertilizer. Compost can bring new life to old soil, by both adding nutrients and eliminating harmful chemicals left over from previous pesticide treatments. It even helps prevent pollution. Throwing compostable material into the trash isn’t a great idea, when surrounded by uncompostable material compostable waste does not break down, composting at home allows for proper breakdown and cuts down on methane formation associated with decomposistion in landfills. Working to minimize community waste is a great step towards a cleaner earth. A composter is a inexpensive change to your lifestyle that can make a big difference the way you garden!
Composting is the best way to get cheap, nutrient rich fertilizer. Consider what you spend on fertilizer, and then consider 100% of that could be saved by using a simple compost system. Store bought fertilizers can be cut with filler or even contain elements that are harmful to the environment, especially to groundwater sources. Compost is all natural, so you can breathe easy knowing you’re doing your part to help the earth while saving some cash to boot!
