What is composting?
Compost is decomposing organic waste that breaks down into soil.
Why does composting save water?
Why does composting save water?
Organic waste such as fruit & vegetable peels are over 50% water, and throwing them away seals all the water in a landfill. However when organic waste decomposes it allows its water to evaporate into the ecosystem. In addition to this, putting compost around plants will stop water from both evaporating & draining away from the plants when you water them.
