Did you know that today is World Soil Day? Soil is extremely important for both people and the planet. It allows us to grow food, it can purify water, and it can help prevent erosion. Without soil, we would have great difficulty growing enough crops to feed our population. That’s why it’s essential to keep our soil healthy! One way we can help our soil thrive is by incorporating compost. Compost is full of nutrients and increases the air and water levels in the soil for the plants to grow. Creating compost from our food and yard waste also allows us to divert more waste from the landfill.
