August 7th | St. Louis Composting (http://www.stlcompost.com/) visits The Market! As any seasoned gardener or landscaper knows, the most important thing you can do to enhance a lawn or garden is to cultivate better soil. Not only does composting sucessfully divert a significant portion of your family's waste stream from landfill and water treatment facilities, it is a natural method of recycling organic materals into valuable humus. Finished compost is nutritious enough to use as a soil amendment, buffering the pH and helping to retain water in the soil. It can cool the soil's surface, and help mitigate erosion.

For nearly two decades, St. Louis Composting has been the region’s leading producer of nature’s ultimate renewable resource, supplying hobbyists and professionals alike with top quality compost, topsoil and soil blends and a variety of mulches while simultaneously reducing landfill waste across the metro area. Visit their booth at The Market on August 7 to learn more about composting and how they can help you make your home greener in every sense of the word!
