Composting The organic matter provided in compost, provides food for microorganisms, whose job is to keep your soil in a healthy, balanced condition. There are two ways to start composting, actively or passively. The more time you invest, the more fertilizer it will yield. Using an organic compost starter such as Ringer® Compost Plus Organic Compost Starter will allow you to quickly begin your compost process, and allow you to take back control of your soil. | | What is Composting? Compost is one of nature's best mulches and soil amendments, and when combined with an organic seed starter such as Safer® Brand Magic Start Grass Patch or organic fertilizer such as Ringer® Lawn Restore, microorganisms break down organic matter into nutrients used by your plants to grow stronger - called humus! Using compost improves soil structure, texture, and aeration as well as increasng the amount of moisture the soil retains, allowing you to water less. Compost can clean and repair contaminated soil, including soils that have been destroyed by harmful synthetic chemicals. Yards and gardens can receive the benefits of rich, moist humus (organic material produced by composting) when worked into the soil in the Spring and Fall or anytime during the growing season as mulch.
