Landscape maintenance tasks such as mowing, pruning, and raking contribute to the health of your landscape but also generate yard waste. Keep as much of this material on-site as possible to conserve nutrients and limit the energy needed to transport it. Decomposing organic matter returns nutrients to the soil in a form that plants may efficiently utilize. Using yard waste for composting is a sustainable method of producing organic fertilizer.
