| Composting |
| Composting is the natural process of decomposing
organic material, like leaves or grass clippings.
Bacteria and insects consume this material leaving
nutrient rich soil. Composting has been going on
in forests since the beginning of time and can easily
be done in your backyard. A major advantage of composting
for any gardener is that the home-grown compost
can be used instead of commercial fertilizers and
mulches. |

| Grasscycling |
|
| Grasscycling is the natural
practice of leaving clippings on the lawn
when mowing. This can save time, money and
other resources like landfill space. The clippings
quickly decompose, returning nutrients to
the soil. Proper turf management, in conjunction
with the practice of grasscycling, can reduce
water and fertilizer requirements, mowing
time, and disposal costs. By grasscycling
you can help Mow Down Pollution! |
