When you hear the word composting, do you think of a hard, boring task that you would want to avoid? Guess what? It's actually not as hard as you might think! First, you take natural material and leave it in a dark, damp space for a year or two. Then, as it is dark and damp, bacteria will accumulate. When the time is up, you will find that all of the organic matter has decomposed. This compost will help keep soils fertile and healthy.
