Question
Mention one benefit of Composting.
Answer in Brief
Solution
There are several advantages to composting for both individuals and the environment. These are a few of the principal advantages of composting:
- Improves soil health: Composting produces a nutrient-rich fertilizer that may be utilized to improve soil fertility. Beneficial "microorganisms" found in compost may improve soil structure and water retention while also helping in plant growth.
- Reduces waste: Composting is a way to keep organic waste, such as food scraps and yard waste, out of landfills. This reduces the quantity of waste in landfills and related environmental issues, including decreased greenhouse gas emissions.
- Saves money: By reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and soil improvements, composting can help save money. Additionally, it can lower municipal and individual waste disposal costs.
