No matter the size and scope of your garden, your potted plants or full in-ground garden can benefit from some nutrient-rich compost. It can really make all the difference in the health, beauty, and yield of your plants.

The good news is that you don’t need to lug in cow manure from a farm to feed your plants! You can do double earth-friendly duty by making your own compost. Collecting items for composting, like vegetable scraps, newspapers and egg shells keeps them from your garbage.
