Home composting is not only a great way to help out the environment, but it also helps you save money by providing nutrient rich material that you can use in your landscaping and gardening. Shop the selection of compost soil, starters and accelerators at Ace Hardware to help get you started, then browse other yard and garden home solutions.
What is Composting?
Composting involves combining organic materials, such as yard waste and fruit and vegetable peels, into compost piles or compost bins. These materials must be kept moist and turned regularly using garden tools, like shovels or rakes. The combination of these organic materials, along with water and oxygen, causes the materials to break down into what eventually becomes a rich soil-like material that can be used to grow and maintain the plants in your yard or garden.
The Benefits of Composting
From environmental implications to increased savings, the reasons to start composting can’t be ignored.
- Better Soil Health: Composting infuses your soil with organic nutrients to encourage better plant health and growth, reducing the possibility of diseases while also minimizing the need for chemical fertilizers.
- Reduces Personal Food Waste: By limiting what goes from your home to the landfill, you reduce your personal food waste and contribute to more sustainable practices, lowering your carbon footprint and ensuring better, healthier garden growth.
Additionally, composting helps conserve water by transforming the ability of soil to better absorb and retain liquid, helping you save on irrigation costs while improving plant growth.
Organic Compost Soil for Gardens and Yards
Whether you’re starting your own compost pile or want ready made compost options to readily improve your yard, garden and flowerbed health, Ace has plenty of options to get you going. Find the compost dirt you need to make a difference, featuring:
- Properties that help even sandy, loose soil better retain moisture to encourage healthy plant growth.
- The ability to transform hard soil to allow for better, more vibrant planting.
- Nutrients to help develop stronger roots for better nutrient, mineral and water absorption.
Additionally, readymade compost soil from Ace can be used in new or existing flower beds, and is great for new or experienced gardeners alike.
Compost Starter vs. Compost Accelerator Products
These terms often appear on compost product packaging, but what is the difference between compost starter and compost accelerator? In short, nothing. Compost starter, also referred to as compost accelerator, is made of organic materials that help with composting. At Ace, our selection of compost bin starters or accelerators features many benefits to your compost, including:
- Microbes cultured to hasten the composting process.
- The ability to break down items that might resist composting.
- Calcium, magnesium and other rich nutrients to encourage healthy compost.
