Compost and worm castings provide beneficial microorganisms as well as plant growth hormones, humus and nutrients to your garden soil. They have been shown to promote seed germination, enhance growth and, in some cases, impart disease resistance to plants. Home composting helps to slow climate change while improving your soil.
