Homemade Compost

Compost will improve the quality of almost any soil, and for this reason it is most often considered a soil conditioner. Compost also improves the structure and texture of the soil enabling it to better retain nutrients, moisture, and air for the betterment of plants. Incorporating compost into soil dramatically improves soil structure. A well-structured soil with lots of small aggregates stays loose and is easy to cultivate. It helps improve all soil types, especially sandy and heavy clay soils, not forgetting that it also adds nutrients to your soil as compost contains a variety of the basic nutrients that plants require for healthy growth.
