Why should we compost? When we compost, we are feeding our soil which makes the soil a nice place for microbes to grow. Microbes turn rotting food into material that will enrich the soil and provide nutrients for our plants to take in.
Soil that is healthy will provide food for plants to be healthy. Healthy plants can resist disease and fight off different viruses that could attack and cause the plants to be stunted in growth or even die. It is much like human beings having to eat nourishing food in order to stay healthy and fight off sicknesses and diseases.
Today, we have organic plant food available, and that is nice, but, should the time ever come when that product is not available, we can make our own compost to feed our plants with. It helps us become more independent of big companies and more productive in our own yards and farms.
