There are few things that will help your gardening efforts more than the application of quality compost. Compost helps to build a healthy soil structure with partially decomposed organic matter and is also a great source of natural, balanced fertilizer. Making your own compost is a very low cost way to build soil health and is also a great way to recycle vegetation from your lawn and garden as well as use fruit and vegetable trimmings from the kitchen. Compost can be worked into the soil when preparing for planting or used as a mulch for plants like garlic and onions that like a rich, fertile soil and are in the garden for a fairly long time.
