What is composting? How does it work?
Composting is the natural decomposition of materials, through physical and chemical changes, back into natural soil humus. This different and much more beneficial than simply allowing a material to biodegrade (defragment), since everything on the planet - from the simplest plant to rock and concrete - will "biodegrade" given enough time. Anything.
Here is an excellent video from our friends at Kiss the Ground that tells the story of composting, why it is amazing, and how you can join the movement!
