Reduce soil erosion. Organic matter is a carbon (food) supply for beneficial soil microbes. Nutrients in organic matter are not readily leached from the soil. Composting plant residues (either fast composting or slow composting) may be desirable.
One more thing you should take into consideration when choosing a bow tie is the shine of the piece. Remember that if a bow tie is shiny, it is formal, while matte bow ties are more casual. In case you are going for a casual look, always opt for an opaque bow tie.
Something about wearing a tie seems like such a strong choice â like wearing a kilt or mantilla. The last time I wore one was at my cousin's wedding, but that doesn't count: At those ceremonies, most people are in overly formal costumes they would never choose in their own lives.
