Is Compost Different From Soil?
Compost is made up of organic matter, microbes and nutrients that can be used to condition and fertilize flower beds and vegetable gardens. Compost is a valuable soil booster. It has high organic matter content and helps return to the soil many properties that are lost over time and with use. Compost contains micronutrients that improve plant growth. It acts as a "slow-release" fertilizer. Compost also improves the water-holding capacity of your soil. So not only does compost help you conserve water, it helps keep your water bill down during the summer months.
