A thriving garden starts with healthy soil. And the best way to improve soil sustainably? Composting.
What is Composting?
Composting is the natural breakdown of organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. It’s a win-win: less landfill waste, and more garden goodness.
Urban Composting Options:
● Countertop bins with charcoal filters to prevent smells.
● Balcony tumblers that make turning your compost easy.
● Community compost programs, if you lack space.
What Can You Compost?
✔️ Fruit & veggie scraps
✔️ Coffee grounds & filters
✔️ Crushed eggshells
✔️ Paper towels (unbleached)
❌ No meat, dairy, or oily foods
Quick Tip: Keep a “brown-to-green” balance. Browns (such as cardboard or dry leaves) and greens (like food scraps) help keep your compost from going slimy or smelly.
