Benefits of Composting

Benefits of Composting

I think you are tired of hearing the word compost. This word has become famous at GI school. Well, I firmly believe it is the word to save the world. I will  persuade everyone to start composting as the benefits are numerous. I will explain the reasons.

Reason one Compost reduces greenhouse gases.

When we just throw away our food scraps into the landfill, the food scraps cannot decay properly and it will make methane. If the methane gas combines with the air, a hot surface or a spark it will then explode. Just by composting the organic materials it will reduce the discharge of methane gas into the world.

Reason two Compost improves soil quality.

Composting is noted to recreate poor soil just by work of the microorganism. Bacteria and fungi will break down the organic materials and it will create humus. Humus raises the nutrient in the soil and it also helps it keep moist. The food that was grown in composted soil has more nutrients to eat.

Reason three Compost helps clean up contaminated soil.

The words of the EPA are, that as the compost is in action, it was proved that the compost absorbs different smells. It treats volatile organic compounds like warming fuels and explosive. In other words pesticides, wood preservatives, chlorinated and non chlorinated corrupted soils were erased by the compost was in action.

Reason four Compost helps control erosion.

Compost has been proved that it stops erosion on bankments that were parallel to creeks, rivers and lakes. As well as weaken turf loss that was on hillsides, roadsides, golf courses and playing fields.

Lastly reason five Compost makes and saves money.

Water these days are at its superior and the composted soil reduces a product of water that has been absorbed by the plants. Composting can also make pests and plant disease, weakening the need for expensive chemicals and fertilizers. A higher crop of agricultural crops are grown in composted soil. The composted soil equates to many amounts that could be sold. According the EPA state, composting is far more cheaper and it is different to conventional ways to clean contaminated soil.

I hope I've persuade you to start composting. As I was giving my speech I hope you’ve learned something and start composting very soon, malo aupito and thank you.
