“Backyard Composting” with GardenSmarts | HouseSmarts (watch on YOUTUBE, 2 minutes and 25 seconds, ages 14 and up)
Backyard composting is a great way to use recycled material to enhance your garden. We spoke with a master gardener from Rutgers University to learn how to get started on making compost. Compost is made from green materials and brown materials, and combined they offer a lot of nutrients for plants. You can use compost for planting, compost for mulching, and compost for potted plants. So, give making your own compost a shot!
