Compost

 Compost is a nutrient-rich organic material created from the decomposition of organic waste. 

 It's made from a mix of "greens" (nitrogen-rich materials like food scraps) and "browns" (carbon-rich materials like leaves and wood chips). 

 Microorganisms, fungi, and other decomposers break down the waste over time, turning it into a dark, crumbly soil-like substance. 

 Adding compost to soil improves its structure, aeration, and water retention, and provides essential nutrients for plants. 

 Composting reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, which in turn reduces methane gas emissions. 

 Compost can be used as a soil amendment, top dressing, or mulch in gardens, farms, and landscaping projects.
