Compost: Decayed organic material (like food and yard debris) used to improve soil and provide nutrients as plant fertilizer.
Composting involves mixing yard and household organic waste in a pile or bin and providing conditions that encourage decomposition.
There are tons of kitchen scraps you can add to a compost pile – and only a few you shouldn’t since they can attract unwanted pests. Here’s a list of kitchen things that shouldn’t be composted: meat, fish, fat, grease, dairy, pasta & bread products, rice, and bones.
