Composting

A Sustainable Practice on Paradise Gardens

              

Paradise Gardens composts as a sustainable practice. This involves the natural decomposition of organic matter into nutrient-rich soil that can be used to improve the health of plants and gardens. It's an excellent way to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainable living. 

Composting is an effective way to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the landfills. Food scraps and yard waste can account for up to 30% of the waste that households generate.

By composting organic matter, we create nutrient-rich soil that can be used to improve plant growth and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Composting also conserves water by improving the soil's ability to retain moisture.

By composting, we also support biodiversity.  It supports a healthy ecosystem by providing nutrients for plants, which in turn support a diverse range of insects, birds, and other wildlife.

When organic waste is sent to a landfill, it decomposes anaerobically(without oxygen) and produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting, on the other hand, produces carbon dioxide, a less potent greenhouse gas, so composting clearly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. 

Composting is a simple process that can be done at home with little to no cost. All you need is a compost bin, organic waste and some patience.

In summary, composting is an excellent way to promote sustainability in your home and community. By reducing waste, conserving resources, supporting biodiversity, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, composting is an easy and effective way to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
