All organic matter eventually decomposes. Composting speeds the process by providing an ideal environment for bacteria and other decomposing microorganisms. The final product, humus or compost, looks and feels like fertile garden soil.This dark, crumbly, earthy smelling stuff works wonders on all kinds of soil and provides vital nutrients to help plants grow and look better.

Any attempt at self sufficiency or rebuilding must take into account food. Food production is greatly affected by soil management, and composting is one of the most venerable, yet modernized, soil management activities.
