Making your own compost, allows you to make nutrients for your garden, to help your fruit and vegetable plants grow. As every gardener knows, you need to add nutrients to your soil, especially if the soil lacks nutrients for growing plants. It is easy to make your own natural garden fertilizer using green waste and food scraps.
You can reduce the amount of food scraps you send off to land fill, by adding them onto your compost pile. You can add yard clippings, fruit, vegetables and left over food onto your compost pile.
These are the steps you can take to help reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfills, by creating useful nutrients with garden compost.
If you do not have the time and patience to create your own garden compost, you can buy organic garden compost from many nurseries. I have found the price of the organic compost much lower than the chemical fertilizers, so you can save on the cost of fertilizer by buying garden compost from your nursery.
Growing your vegetable plants in your own garden, allows you to pick garden fresh fruit and vegetables to use in your meals on the same day. If you do not use chemical fertilizers and other chemicals in your garden, then you may have an organic garden. Many people are keeping themselves busy with an organic garden in their backyard and enjoy the more natural flavors of freshly picked fruit and vegetables.
With an organic garden, you can grow tomatoes, peppers, herbs and many other fruit and vegetables. You can even grow organic lemons and oranges on miniature trees, which do not take much space in your yard, as the trees are rather small, but have plenty of fruit.
These days, there are many areas of your yard, you can use to make garden compost.
