Title: Purchasing Compost
Summary: Compost, the end product of a controlled decomposition of plant and animal wastes, makes an excellent addition
to lawn or garden soil. Adding compost to your soil helps improve both its drainage and water-holding properties.
Compost stores plant nutrients and prevents them from leaching. It “opens up” the soil so plant roots can penetrate
easily. Some recent research indicates that compost can help prevent many common plant diseases.
