There are two major reasons for composting: 

1. It’s great for your garden!

2. It’s great for the environment!

By gathering your garden and kitchen trash you can compost the material into a rich and nutritious fertilizer while reducing household wastes that go to the landfills.

It’s Great for Your Garden!

Compost soil is great for your garden because it has all the essential nutrients that your plants, flowers and lawn need to grow. Not only will you experience faster growing periods, but you will also see a brighter color in your plants.

Compost soil will not only give plant the right nutrition to grow, but will provide nutrients over time that will help your plants in the long run instead of store-bought fertilizer that only meets their immediate needs.  This way, you don’t need to keep giving your plants fertilizer since the compost soil will provide what they need for weeks and even months. 

Compost also improves your soil’s structure, which enables it to take in the right amount of water, nutrients and oxygen. 

It’s Great for the Environment!

It's not hard to understand why we need to start and keep composting in America as well the rest of the world.

Each person who composts on a daily basis can reduce the size of our landfills significantly.  The average American produces 4.3 pounds of waste per day.  Twenty-six percent of this waste is being sent to landfills, which we could easily compost at our homes.  These numbers do not include meat and bones from kitchen waste, which is also able to compost with Jora Composters because it creates high heat. 

Also, decaying waste in landfills produces greenhouse gases such as methane, but if your waste is being composted in a tumbler at home or work the waste decays with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide instead of methane.
