Make Your Own Compost

Looking for ways to save on your water bill this summer? Try making your own compost.

You may already know that making and using compost is not only great for your plants and is environmentally friendly by keeping garbage out of the landfill.

But did you know that composting can cut down on your water bill? The compost material helps your soil maintain moisture as well as supplies it with the rich nutrients it needs.

With the prolonged moisture, you need to water less. Not only do your plants and garden look great, composting can save you money!

Here is more on this subject:

Project Evergreen lists composting as one of the five easiest ways to improve your lawn and garden. Not only does composting enrich your soil, it cuts down on your trash, which helps the environment by not ending up in landfills. All kinds of items can regenerate your soil, including coffee grounds, filters, and dryer lint when combined with yard clippings, wood chips, and leaves. Composting provides the soil with nutrient-filled materials that help it maintain moisture, which again means you can conserve on water and keep your water bills down this summer.
