Some of the benefits of including compost in your gardens include improved nutrient content, moisture retention, aeration, and greater disease tolerance. 1. Nutrient: Beneficial organisms contribute to nutrient enrichment for uptake by plants. The organisms feed on bacteria and fungi, giving off nitrogen that is easily absorbed by plants. 2. Moisture Retention: Organic matter retains water, increasing the time between waterings. 3. Pest and Disease Control: Beneficial nematodes and fungi found in the organic material protect the roots of plants from potentially harmful organisms that are in the soil. 4. Aeration: Organisms give structure to the soil by creating air holes and drain pockets. This reduces compaction and maximizes water and air availability to the root.
