Organic materials naturally break down into a nutrient-rich, earthy substance. Composting  uses this process to make a valuable soil conditioner from organic waste like leaves, grass, and food scraps that would otherwise be thrown away. Composting saves landfill space, and the rich humus-like material produced by composting can be used as a beneficial soil amendment in gardens and potted plants.
