A Composting Introduction
Introducción a compostaje
Composting is the decomposition of plant remains and other organic mate-
rials to make an earthy, dark, crumbly substance that is excellent for adding
to houseplants or enriching garden soil. It is the way to recycle your yard and
kitchen waste, and is an important step in reducing the volume of garbage
needlessly sent to landfills for disposal.

In the natural world, composting is what happens as leaves pile up on the for-
est floor and begin to decay. Eventually, the decomposed leaves are returned
to the soil, where living roots can finish the recycling process by reclaiming the
nutrients from the decomposed leaves.

Today, with landfill space becoming scarce and expensive and people becom-
ing more aware of the impact that landfill sites have on the environment, the
use of composting to turn organic waste into valuable resource is expanding
rapidly.

Composting Fundamentals
Principios básicos del compostaje
Good composting is a matter of providing the proper environmental condi-
tions for microbial life. Compost is made by billions of microbes (fungi, bac-
teria, etc.) that digest the garden and kitchen wastes (food) you provide for
them. Keep in mind the following basic ideas while building your compost pile:
