Benefits of compost

Compost as a soil amendment :

• Is a rich organic material that regenerates poor soil.
• Increases the content of organic matter and the retention capacity for water and soils.
• Regenerates the microflora of soil in conjunction with fertilizers.
• Reduces the need for fertilizers as much as 50%, and lowers irrigation, fertilizer and pesticide costs.

Compost as a preventive agent against pollution:

• Prevents dispersion of pollution.
• Prevents erosion and loss of organic matter along river banks, roads, parks, playgrounds and golf courses.

Compost as a remedy to pollution:

• Absorbs odor and degrades volatile organic compounds.
• Immobilizes heavy metals and avoids contamination of the food chain.
• Degrades or eliminates wood preservatives, petroleum products, pesticides and hydrocarbon chlorides that are contained in contaminated soils.
