What is Composting?
Composting is a managed biological process that breaks down organic materials, such as food scraps, into a dark, earthy, soil-like material called compost.
Why Compost?
Reduce waste: 30 - 40% of household garbage is made up of organics that can be composted. Yellowknifers can help extend the life of the landfill by composting!
Make your garden & lawn healthy: Compost is an excellent soil conditioner that improves microbiological activity, soil structure, and water retention. Compost acts like a sponge, helping soil retain moisture and nutrients. This reduces the amount you need to water and fertilize.
