Learn About Composting Day

Gardeners’ Day is celebrated on May 29, but to include environmentally conscious individuals, a unifying event called Learn About Composting Day was created. This activity helps save money and supports the renewal of natural resources.

History

Compost is an organic fertilizer made from naturally decomposing elements and has been known since the Stone Age. Chemical fertilizers are used in agriculture to increase yields, allowing for multiple harvests per year. Compost, however, helps purify groundwater by preventing toxins from entering the water.
