What Does Compost Really Do For Your Plants?
August 21st, 2008 | by admin |What does composting really do for garden and your plants? Compost from organic material, especially that from worm farms, is very good for plants. It is also very good for the soil.
Vermicompost is rich in nutrients and microorganisms which are then transferred to the soil. This also helps to retain moisture in the soil, similar to what normal compost or mulch would do. The added nutrients help to fortify your plants. This will help them fend off all sorts of garden pests and various diseases.
If your kitchen waste has all of these benefits, you will no longer need to spend the extra money on fertilizers and pesticides. You can have beautiful plants from carrots, coffee grounds, and eggshells.
