  Blossoms from the Soil 
  
  Thank you for your interest in compost. 
  
  Compost is a versatile product with many benefits. It enhances 
  soil quality, helps save water, and supports your community’s 
  efforts to recycle organic debris. All this helps to conserve our 
  natural resources and reduces the amount of material sent to the 
  landfill. 
  
  Compost-amended soil also helps break down pollutants and 
  absorb stormwater runoff. By making nutrients slowly available 
  to plants and enhancing plant health, compost can reduce the 
  need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. All these benefits 
  help protect our lakes, rivers, and marine waters from pollution 
  and excessive runoff. 
  
  Compost is a natural amendment for your lawn or garden, and 
  can be used regularly to enrich your soil. This guide is designed 
  to help you get the most from the compost that you buy.
