The main benefit of composting is that it helps to reduce waste and create a nutrient-rich soil amendment. It also provides an environment for beneficial organisms, such as worms and fungi, which break down organic materials into humus, or dark, crumbly material that can be added to soil. Composting can help to improve soil structure, water retention, and fertility. Additionally, composting can produce valuable soil amendments, such as compost tea, which can be used in gardening and farming.
