This is something I just learned. Its very interesting. Check it out and tell me what you think. I read about it online. It’s a great way of conserving energy.

 It reduces the cost of getting rid of your garbage, especially when you pay by the bag. It reduces the stink in your garbage bags. With all that wet stuff gone, your trash is lighter and less putrid. Reduces global warming. Food decomposing in the landfill produces methane, a supercharged greenhouse gas; in your backyard compost bin it doesn’t. Saves space for longer-lived landfills. Produces great soil amendment for your garden. Returns nutrients to the soil such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron and boron. When added to the soil compost helps promote root development, enhances retention of water and nutrients, and makes the soil easier to cultivate. Reduces rainfall run-off, decreases water evaporation from the soil, and helps to control weeds.
