Holy Compost, Batman!
According to the U.S. EPA,
compost can reduce or eliminate your need for chemical fertilizers. Compost
provides humus to your soil, increasing the nutrient content and encouraging
beneficial microorganisms. All that great compost can drastically reduce or
eliminate your use of chemical fertilizers.
The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District
recommends testing your soil after adding compost to determine
if you need to anything else.Compost SMASH!
Compost has been shown in studies to suppress plant diseases and pests. I would like to see the Hulk do that (and keep the plant
alive).
Up, UP, and Away!
It may not be bullet proof, but compost has been shown to
cleanup and remediate soils. Compost absorbs odors, treats volatile organic compounds (VOCs), binds heavy metals, and
prevents them from being absorbed by plants. KAPOW!
Here I Come to Save the Day!
Compost prevents pollutants in storm water from reaching
surface waters. It has also been shown to prevent erosion and turf loss.
All with no cape or leotard.
At least not on the compost, what you are wearing is none of
my business.
Happy composting, superheroes. J
