  1. Composting is a natural process that breaks down organic matter into nutrient-rich soil conditioner known as compost. Typical materials used include kitchen scraps (fruit and vegetable peels), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves), paper, cardboard, and plant trimmings. These materials are mixed in specific ratios to provide carbon-rich (browns) and nitrogen-rich (greens) components, creating an ideal environment for decomposition by microorganisms.
